My name is Amanda Malouff and I was born and raised in Southern California. I currently work as a Graphic Designer and photographer in Los Angeles, I received my Bachelors Degree in Fine Arts from Woodbury University (Burbank, CA) in May of 2011. I’ve had the incredible opportunity to intern with several companies in the media district and attend multiple film/television premieres and events as press to gain experience in the entertainment industry. I’ve travelled the World (New Zealand, Australia, England, France, Holland, Ireland, etc.) to experience various cultures and meet many amazing designers who have inspired my work. In addition to traveling, I am passionate about maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle as well as contributing my talents and skills to benefiting my community. I enjoy driving my beloved convertible Mini Cooper everywhere, and spending long hours at coffee shops with my laptop.
