Website mentorship for writers, artists, & creatives who want to DIY with guidance, not guesswork.
DIYing your website doesn’t have to mean doing it alone. Let’s build something that feels like you.
Hi, I’m Amanda. I worked in PR, social media management, and web content for years so I could learn the skills to one day market my own creative work. After a while, I realized I wasn’t the only one who could benefit from my experience.
That’s why I created this mentorship program. There’s so much information and advice out there on how to set up your website, plan a blog, and develop a content marketing strategy. Most of it isn’t written with creatives in mind—writers, actors, filmmakers, painters, crafters, and so on.
It’s hard to sort through all that information to find out where to start, what to ignore, and what makes sense for you. It’s even harder to look at what works for traditional businesses and translate it into something that works for artists.
That’s where I come in. To help you do it yourself with confidence, clarity, and constructive feedback.
Together, we’ll build a website that supports your vision and doesn’t twist it around to fit a template.

"Amanda is a brilliant mind that aptly blends analytics with artistry. She understands both the depths of the creative soul and the real-world business and marketing skills necessary for creatives to succeed. Anyone that works with her will quickly discover she is both a trusted resource for knowledge and insight, as well as a compassionate friend."

"As her coworker for over a year, I benefited from Amanda's tireless work ethic, creative problem-solving, and willingness to do whatever it takes to get the job done. After losing two people from our social media team, she stepped up to take over monitoring and community engagement for our primary brand, and she did so with great care. Additionally, she managed the official SCAD blog's content and SEO strategy with competence, drive, and enthusiasm."
Maggie C., former Social Media Manager at Savannah College of Art and Design
"Amanda was able to work quickly on some of my immediate editing needs. However, what I was most impressed by was her clarity surrounding when she needed my input in order to progress. As a client, it was refreshing to be reminded that any project is a two-way street, and a collaborative approach often yields more impactful results."
