I’m a maker. I like to make just about anything. Currently, I’m making (designing) Xbox games at Microsoft Canada and maintaining a charity website, Buy-A-Net (go check it out and make a donation while you’re there).

I have a formal training and employment in print design, but have handled many different titles over the past few years. I’ve co-produced and managed two short films, designed, coded, and maintained a couple of websites, experimented with augmented reality and computer generated art within ActionScript3, photographed weddings, mom’s to be, and portraits, shot and edited live music, and branded a couple of different companies. In a non-digital space, I’ve kept up my hobbies of acrylic painting, sketching, life drawing, fashion and accessory design and construction. Check out my evolving fashion brand Mulierose.

I’ve been to post secondary school three times. And coincidentally have kept day jobs at three different organizations since. I started as a graphic designer at a family run print house, Henderson Printing, moved onto a government job at KFL&A Public Health, and have currently shifted to a game design position at Microsoft Canada.

Even though I’ve always had a ‘day job’ I’m always up for new and exciting projects. If you have any ideas and you’d like to collaborate, or if you’d like to hire me for an upcoming project, you can contact me at amanda (at) amandahealey (dot) ca
