About Amanda Guerassio

Guerassio: pronounced grr-AHH-see-oh.
It just rolls off the tongue once you know how to say it.

 

I’m a brand strategist and designer with 17+ years of experience helping brands grow without losing their soul.

I got my start in Photoshop back in middle school, earned my BFA in Graphic Design in 2006, and have been designing professionally ever since. Most of my career has been as an independent designer, which means I’ve worn a lot of hats: from building brands from scratch to collaborating with agency teams, managing timelines and vendors, and presenting work to all kinds of stakeholders. I’ve worked across industries and mediums—from social graphics to billboards, packaging to presentations—and always with the same goal: make it clear, make it compelling, and make it fit.

I specialize in branding because I love the challenge of turning fuzzy ideas into visuals that feel just right. Strategy and design are equal partners in my process, and I bring both creative curiosity and quiet confidence to every project. I’m a detail nerd who also sees the big picture—equally at home refining typography as I am mapping out brand architecture.

Outside of work, I live just north of Austin with my husband and daughter. I’m an avid traveler, amateur cook, perpetual bookworm, and a big fan of fuzzy socks and well-earned chocolate. I’ve also found a creative side outlet in AI-generated art, where I bring myth, magic, and storytelling to life in a more literal sense.

At this stage in my career, I’m excited to bring my skills to a great team—somewhere I can contribute, grow, and do work that matters alongside good people.

    I am open and honest in my communication (no nonsense, no bull) and open to working with people of all kinds.
