Amber Podratz

design director

Hello! Please allow me to introduce myself. I'm Amber, and I work in Los Angeles as a Design Director. What do I do? I’m a designer through and through. I believe a beautiful, thoughtful, and strategic approach to design can elevate the human spirit. Honing the craft of design has been my life's work, and I am passionate about bringing beauty into the world through this craft. I graduated from the prestigious Art Center College of Design and have 15 years of design experience.

I have worked with Fortune 500 companies, luxury hotel and restaurant groups, and large public institutions. My design work has garnered over 15 national awards and has been published in Graphic Design USA, InStyle, and Logolounge vol. 8.
