Hi I’m Amanda, an art director at VML London.
With a degree in Communication Design from RMIT I started as a designer and became an art director post AWARD School.
During my time in Ad-land, I’ve helped create brand platforms, been part of successful pitches and all the in-betweens. Some of my highlights include shooting an ad in a medieval castle in Prague with Chris Hemsworth’s stunt double, frolicking on a farm with more than 45,000 chooks and shooting out the back of an aircraft at 36,000 feet up in the air.
Not only has my work been awarded at Cannes Lions, D&AD, Clios, New York Festivals and more. I am also a (now retired) dodgeball league champ. I’ve taken my agility on the court, as seen here, off the court into every project I’m on. I also volunteer on The Aunties, Youngbloods Victoria, and as an AWARD School tutor and judge.
When I'm not trying to crack a brief, you can find me near the microwave waiting for popcorn or taking way too many vids of my cat.
