Amanda Burris

I have dedicated my post-retirement life to fostering creativity and intergenerational bonds to help heal our communities. I have a BFA (Bachelor of Fine Arts) in Advertising Design/Marketing from Texas Woman's University, where I learned a variety of art forms and studied the history of human creative expression. My 35-year career has spanned roles such as graphic designer, illustrator, animator, video editor, photographer, interactive developer, web master, data wrangler, and VP of customer/market research. I'm embracing my "golden years" by following my bliss and helping others do the same.
