amanda mortensen

graphic designer based in Cache Valley, Utah

I am a graphic designer specializing in branding, editorial, and typography design, with a BFA from Utah State University. My work blends sophistication with subtle humor, often incorporating conceptual twists that encourage a second look.

Outside of design, I’m usually reading, knitting, or listening to Vivaldi (because let’s face it, “Summer Presto” is a banger). I’m a sucker for the Grand Tetons from the Idaho side — where they look right — and a cleverly used movie quote.

Identities with Made By James

I am a returning student to USU and originally was accepted into the Interior Design & Architecture BFA program, but chose to follow my passion for graphic design instead. I am currently enrolled the Graphic Design BFA program with projected graduation in 2026.

During high school, I was involved in several extracurricular activities such as cheerleading, choir and the school newspaper, the latter of which I was an editor for the Entertainment page during my junior and senior years before graduating with honors.
