mandy norman: bay area designer / artist / writer

Professionally, I have earned a Bachelors degree in Web Design & Interactive Media from the Art Institute of California - San Francisco, Class of 2011. As a front-end UI/UX designer with over eight years of web design experience, I have a sharp designer's eye and never-ending eagerness to learn and grow. My skills include front-end design, graphic design, HTML/CSS, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Illustrator, and more. Also, I am new to the marketing field with expereince in website content creation and edits, and newsletter campaign management. Check out my resume for more.

Personally, I'm a sister, organizer, reader, writer, crafter, designer, and blogger. This gal is tall, tattooed, and above all upbeat. My relationship with my cat, giraffes, music, and caffeine are borderline unhealthy, but nothing stops me from speaking my mind and "making things look pretty."

I run two blogs in my spare time (whatmandythinks and whatmandyloves) and am a regular guest blogger on the life reflection blog Never What You Think.

"As a classmate and colleague, I have learned a ton from Mandy. In the first Design Layout class that we had together, it was clear that she was a naturally talented designer.

Mandy is talented, dependable, thorough, and a pleasure to work with..."
