“I had the opportunity to collaborate with Amanda, and she was truly the missing piece. Her ability to turn big-picture ideas into clear, actionable plans made everything run smoothly and efficiently. She brought calm, confidence, and clarity to every step of the process, which helped our whole team stay focused and aligned. As a designer, I’ve worked with many people, but Amanda truly stands out. Her strategic mind and thoughtful communication made the work feel purposeful and inspired.
She’s not just a great collaborator, she’s the best!”

New Podcast Episode
Changing the way women support women in business, Amanda is inspiring a revolution in Portland! She is a consultant, event organizer, mother and so much more. On this Venture Portland episode, get inspired by Amanda’s story about how she innovates in marketing and business solutions for the fastest growing demographic of entrepreneurs, women of color.
Representation Matters
Often times women-owned businesses, and especially ones owned by women of color, aren’t the front page of mainstream media. It creates a feeling that it doesn’t exist, but in reality it’s one of the fastest growing demographics of entrepreneurs. Through the grace of local founders sharing their story with ALIST, we’re creating a place to read their stories. We hope they inspire another generation of entrepreneurs.
