Hello! My name is Amanda, I am Party Time’s resident Photoshop Ninja, but my official job with Party Time is as the company’s in-house Graphic Designer. I design all of our printed materials, like brochures and catalogs, and I’m also in charge of designing and maintaining our website and blog.

I also design our storybook albums for weddings, bar/bat mitzvahs, and quinces. This is one of my favorite parts of the job. I love to challenge myself to make every new album more artistic and well designed than the last. I’ve been working every day in Photoshop for about seven years- that’s where my title “Photoshop Ninja” comes from. Its not the only program I work in (I do an equal amount of work in InDesign, Dreamweaver, Illustrator, and a bunch of other professional, industry related programs) but I have the most fun with Photoshop.

Aside from working diligently with our wonderful clients to create their perfect storybook album, some of my favorite activities at the office include playing with Ace (our company mascot, Debbi and Jeff’s dog), annoying my office-mate Andrea with my choice of music, and being a very picky perfectionist about all of our design work.

I started working for Party Time in early 2005, three years into my career in professional design. I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Graphic Design from Florida Atlantic University. I have studied fine art and design my entire life and I’m glad I get to use my life’s passion to help Party Time and its clients every day!
