Welcome to
Planting Creativity
A Minnesota based designer and marketer crafting cohesive brands and custom websites for passionate small business owners.
Planting Creativity is more than just design. It is a one stop approach to branding and marketing that keeps everything consistent, intentional, and working together. No juggling multiple vendors or disconnected pieces, just a streamlined process and a cohesive brand that actually makes sense.
Hi, I'm Amanda
I’m a graphic designer that fell in love with strategy and marketing.
My career started in graphic design, but it quickly grew into something more. What began as a love for creating turned into a passion for helping small businesses and organizations grow through thoughtful, strategic design and marketing.
I bring together strategy, design, and content to help businesses reach their goals, stand out, and make a lasting impression.
In 2021, I stepped away from my full time career to stay home with my two boys, and that is when Planting Creativity came to life after years of dreaming about it. Since then, our family has grown. I am now a mom of four, building a business I love while raising my boys. It has given me the opportunity to pursue meaningful work while creating a life that prioritizes both my family and my passion. Even the name holds meaning. Planting is my maiden name, making this business deeply personal from the start.
My experience goes beyond design alone. Through mentorship, continued training, and hands on experience, I have developed a well rounded marketing skill set with a strong focus on websites, SEO, and strategic planning. I do not just design something that looks good. I create work that functions with purpose and supports real growth.
When I am not working, you will find me chasing after my boys, hopping on my Peloton, spending time with family and friends, or tackling the next home project that sparks my creativity.
