Courses with Amanda
For the past twenty-three years, Amanda has taught foundational architectural design courses. Her courses lay the groundwork for a professionally focused interior design program that provides opportunities for graduates to become professional interior designers. It has been her great honor to develop courses for, and teach in, a program that offers such an important path for creative people.
Adjacent to her work at the college level is Amanda’s deep interest in personal growth and healing. In her early twenties, Amanda had the great fortune to meet two spiritual teachers. From their work together, she learned how to navigate immense loss and trauma in early adulthood. It was this healing journey that inspired her to leave the practice of professional interior design and take up teaching where she could best serve creatives who seek to find a career for themselves.
Amanda’s courses teach students how to quickly learn and understand architectural sketching. While this new skill finds a place for itself within the psyche of her student, the individual also begins to access their own personal experiences such as memory, travel, interpersonal relationships and their relationship with themselves. We take time to consider, what inspires us? How can we make our lives feel better? What can we do to develop our creativity further, using architectural sketching and art as methods?
In her courses, you will learn new skills that you can apply to your daily life and for special times when you travel. Best of all, you can travel to other places while staying at home with her program of research, reflection, sketching and painting.
Courses are offered in a hybrid Zoom and in-person modality. Due to the small number of students in each class, accommodations can be made to best serve both local and remote students.
