About

The person behind every pixel.

Design isn't decoration. It's how things work.

I'm Amanda — a full-stack developer, designer, and systems thinker. In 2009, I was accepted into the University of Toronto's specialized Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence program, back when AI was an academic curiosity, not a household word. That foundation in how systems think, learn, and process information shapes everything I build today.

I earned a 96% high school average and a scholarship to York University before transferring to UofT's specialized program. Life took turns — financial realities forced me to leave before graduating — but the way of thinking never left. I've spent the decade since building digital systems with the same rigour that program demanded.

ABreeze Studio is intentionally one person. No account managers, no handoffs, no dilution. When you work with me, you get the architect, the designer, and the builder in the same room. Every project gets full attention — from the database schema to the font pairing to the deploy pipeline.

I'm a military spouse and a mother of two. I understand what it means to build something from nothing in a new place — because I've done it. Multiple times. That experience isn't just biographical colour; it's the reason I build for military spouse entrepreneurs and small businesses who need to look established before they've finished unpacking.
