Commitment is a challenge, and I have a wandering heart.

Though graphic design was my first love, my curiosity led me to explore deeper layers of creativity and self-discipline.

Chado, the Japanese tea ceremony, taught me the power of intention.
Yoga deepened my presence, attuning me to others’ needs.
Traditional leather craftsmanship taught me precision and mastery.

These explorations ultimately merged all my passions into a harmonious whole, enriching my unique connection to design. They allow me to create work that invites others to pause, breathe, and reflect. In retrospect, my journey, filled with diverse lessons, shaped the designer I am today.

My name is Amanda H Mei and I’m an art director & graphic designer based in Los Angeles, California.
