I'm Amanda, a product designer who helps founders, operators and small businesses turn complex ideas into clear, usable, and intentional digital products.
My background in education and international operations gives me a user lens that most designers do not have. I design for the full range of how people actually think, learn and work.
I design end-to-end so nothing gets lost between your vision, the design, and the development.
- Amanda Gustin
Every project starts by defining goals, users, and constraints so the right problems are solved before design begins.
Research, usability, and accessibility guide every decision, creating experiences that are intuitive, inclusive, and built for real users.
Every decision has purpose. Clear direction reduces uncertainty, avoids unnecessary iteration, and keeps projects moving with confidence.
From strategy and design to Webflow development, every project is built responsively and ready to launch without handoff gaps.

Before product design, I spent years leading and teaching in education. That experience, especially in SEND, shaped how I solve problems today. My approach is grounded in empathy, structure, and a deep understanding of accessibility and inclusive design.
I now bring that same care and clarity to digital products, helping businesses create experiences that are not only beautiful, but truly usable by everyone.
