Originally from Southwest Florida, Amanda has always had a deep love for the Gulf. After marrying her husband in Rosemary Beach, they embraced the coastal life full-time, moving to 30a. Amanda now spends her days Linking and working remotely, managing creative projects at an independent design studio based in Cincinnati, OH.

In her free time, you can find Amanda living her best beach life—whether she's reading a good book with sand between her toes, exploring her charming beach town, or relaxing at home with her husband and their Lhasa Apso-poodle mix, Benzo.

The quickest way to her heart? Indulge in life's simple pleasures: ice-cold black coffee, Emerald Coast sunsets, cozy puppy snuggles, and (of course) queso and margaritas.

Why LINK x LOU? Amanda’s love for LINK x LOU started years ago when she got her first link from Lindsey in Cincinnati, and she’s been growing her collection ever since. She’s excited to bring LINK x LOU back to 30a and continue growing with her tight-knit beach community.

Fun fact: Amanda loves to bake and decorate cakes and cupcakes!
