About Me

Posted by Amanda

I recently graduated from Swinburne University of Technology / National Institute of Design. I have three degrees because I love studying and I think its in my genes to accumulate them. I originally studied teaching and psychology and drama. My interests in media and technology grew... and in 2003 I began working in Film/DVD Production with Inner Melbourne Studio. This led to some fun projects - such as producing the Battle of Supremacy DVD (in conjunction with Out for Fame now the fabulous Acclaim  magazine) of which I hosted the dvd production and was assistant editor for the DVD.

I began at Swinburne University in 2004, studying Multimedia where I met Nick Crewdson. We established Overload Design Studios . With a strong interest in Film/Video (I succeeded in making a horror film all in portugeuse) I finally turned my interests towards visuals for events, web design and programming, furniture design, clothing design and print design using a combination of photography and illustration. I graduated in December 2007 with another Bachelor's Degree - this time in Design.

I began working on Macintosh's in 2001 on a g4 powerbook after working on PC's since my first 286. I now work predominantly on Mac's although will use PC's if required.
