After completing her undergraduate degree in animation at the Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, Georgia, Amanda worked 40+ hours in a basement selling art supplies to make ends meet. Having no luck in her job search, she enrolled in graduate school at her alma mater's Atlanta campus. Immediately following her enrollment, Amanda high-tailed it out to Hollywood to do an internship at Shadow Animation (of Robot Chicken fame). There, she worked in the puppet fabrication department, assisting in the construction of demons and lost souls for the upcoming stopmotion feature film, "Hell and Back". Three months later she returned to Atlanta (tied to the city by her pursestrings) and is continuing to take graduate classes, sculpt custom wedding cake toppers, collect lawn gnomes, and look for real, paid work.
