“Sasaki asked Amanda to do the impossible. To have any chance at articulating our point of view as a cohesive practice, we desperately needed her to find clarity in the midst of our creative chaos. We couldn't have asked for a better partner. Amanda led us through a challenging process of self-discovery, and at the end, we emerged with a unified, recommitted sense of self: a renewed practice.”

“There are very few people as intelligent and intuitive as Amanda. There are even fewer who can communicate their ideas with such clarity and kindness. She is truly special and has taught me many, many things, not least of which: that you cannot make good work and effect positive change without allowing yourself to be changed along the way.”

“Amanda was the lead on our fundraising campaign project. Before anything, she and her team [at BMD] got to know our school better than we knew ourselves. Their reflection back to us of who we were and what we stood for was accurate and intuitive. The work was not easy. The end product was beautifully conceived and thoroughly developed. Thanks Amanda: you were a delight to work with, I learned much from you, and your professionalism and creativity have made every agency collaboration since a disappointment.”
