Amanda Froese is a connoisseur of quirk. The Cossette art director brings endless imagination to her brand and identity projects, and that creativity extends into every aspect of her life. She dabbles in craft, kitsch and cats, documenting much of it with fellow designer-slash-hubby Tom. Their fantastic blog offers a good dose of felines and free wallpapers and is worth a gander. A graduate of the Ontario College of Art & Design, Amanda has done work for beloved local brands including Vancouver Art Gallery, Museum of Vancouver and Coast Capital Savings.

What do you do?

I am an art director/designer at Cossette in Vancouver.

Why do you love being a creative in Vancouver?

I appreciate that the creative community in Vancouver is not driven by ego. Amazing work comes out of this city all the time. Whether it is done quietly or is well promoted, it feels as though people are in it for the right reasons. I find that really refreshing and motivating.

How would you like to collaborate with other local creatives?

I have worked with so many talented photographers, designers and illustrators in Vancouver. I know there are so many more out there and would love to find out about them.

How can people reach you?

My portfolio site is terribly out of date…so much so that I'm not even missmartens anymore. My husband and I keep a blog of our side projects orangebike.tomfroese.com. The fastest way to get in touch is through email at mrsamandafroese@gmail.com
