About Amanda Wastrom
Creativity. Curiosity. Collaboration. These words get to the heart of who I am, as a professional and as a human being living in the world. I’m an artist and storyteller who loves to share and to exchange ideas. While the bits of knowledge that I have collected are personally satisfying, when I share them with others, they take on new life. My curiosity always seems to get the best of me and I think that\'s ok. I love discovering beauty and adventure in unlikely places, from hunting for quartz crystals in the Montana hills to swimming in the Ganges River, learning to cook nasi goreng from my students in East Java, Indonesia, and trolling the attics of a 250-year-old house on Cape Cod. In every business, organization, or project there is a great story waiting to be told. It\'s my superpower to find it, dust if off, bring it to the surface and share it in words and images that SING. Currently, client projects include a series of profiles highlighting Cape Cod food entrepreneurs, a catalog design for a local sculptor, and a blog post about how AI is transforming the healthcare industry. On any given day, you’ll find me knee-deep in a beehive, up on a ladder, cutting, gluing, and scribbling on the floor, or seeking out feedback from my colleagues—always flipping tasks upside down, around, or backwards to look at them in new ways. I work with nonprofits, solo entrepreneurs, tech corporations and everyone in between. I pride myself on bringing a human touch to sectors like tech and B2B marketing.Reach out if you\'ve got a web, print, or exhibit project that needs sorting. Let\'s talk!
