With over 16+ years of experience in design, she’s been an early adopter of UX best practices since 2008. At Capital One, she supports the company’s mission of changing banking for good by co-designing experiences with Design, Product, Tech and Legal partners. She’s passionate about helping Americans of all financial backgrounds find harmony with money so that they can make informed decisions, grow into their goals, and reach financial wellness.
Aside from her core work of designing experiences, Amanda is also passionate about building engagement strategies that enable her team to thrive, mentoring designers interested in growing or pivoting their careers in UX, and co-leading the Content Community of Practice (a 500+ person group of designers across the entirety of Capital One).
Amanda graduated from Emory University in Atlanta, Ga.
Driven early on by craft mastery and a commitment to practice, process and operations, Amanda has worked at agencies designing for Fortune 500 brands (Coca-Cola, Disney), built a six-figure content studio operating worldwide, and now oversees the Growth.xd portfolio at Capital One.
She completed her Systems Design certification from Cornell University in 2020, and will soon be immersing herself in trauma-informed design trainings at UC Berkeley.
When she’s not squinting at Figma flows (or writing this in the third person) Amanda indulges her endless curiosity for all things by visiting local art museums, making pottery, and playing darts.
