🦋 Hello and welcome! 🦋
I'm Amanda MacKay, an illustrator and surface pattern designer based in beautiful Ontario, Canada. I’m a graduate of Sheridan College’s Bachelor of Applied Arts – Illustration program (2014), and I’ve been crafting joyful, high-quality visuals for over 11 years.
Throughout my career, I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with 30+ clients across North America on hundreds of projects—from fashion and home décor to stationery, children's books, board games, and more. My work has appeared on shelves in major retailers like Canadian Tire, Winners, and Chronicle Books.
I’m a versatile artist who loves bringing creative visions to life. Whether you’re looking for dreamy watercolors, polished vector graphics, stylized lettering, or painterly digital illustrations, I tailor every piece to suit your brand’s unique needs. My designs are always created with intention—high-resolution, print-ready, and made with commercial use in mind.
Let’s make something beautiful together.
Feel free to reach out any time to chat about your project!
