Amanda Vidad
Graphic Designer + Illustrator
TX, USACurrently a Visual Designer at The Active Network in Dallas, Texas concentrating on Software, Mobile and Web apps for a variety of products. (Paper) Crowned the Icon Queen, constant note taker, and professional paper desk decoration maker. Some of my favorite things include: super organized file folders, even numbered pixel counts, and playing with new apps for research.
I believe fundamental design skills can be applied and shine in any medium, whether it's print, 3D, or digital (or maybe even something new!). I'm always searching for projects that are creatively stimulating, with peers that are as passionate about design as I am.
