Hi, I’m Amanda

Fashion has been my life for the past 20+ years. I started by making my own halloween costumes to eventually interned at Iris Van Herpen. I have maintained consistency and resiliency throughout my journey have experience in both domestic and international settings.

As a naturally curious individual, I believe in understanding various facets of the fashion industry to help inform my design lens, so I have experience in e-commerce, education, communications, and entrepreneurship. These experiences have help me better understand the interconnectedness and clothing to the lived experience.

Each path has led me into exciting opportunities and shaped the way that I see the world.

What is Rosebud Studio?

Along the header of this website, you’ll find a link to Rosebud Studio, a passion project come to life after more than a decade of working in alterations.

Making an impact on the day to day life of an individual is very gratifying and puts my skills to good use.
