Meet your maker
Hi, I’m Amanda Elise, the creator behind Creative & Caffeinated. I’ve been a life-time hobby artist who has dabbled in nearly every art form you can think of. Over the last several years, I have been honing my digital art and graphic design skills to create the stickers, greeting cards and other products you see today!
I was born and raised in New Mexico and I take lots of inspiration from my hometown of Santa Fe. Currently, I’m residing in San Diego California, where I obtained my Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. As a desert girl living by the ocean, I appreciate the beauty of contrast, a theme that repeats itself throughout my work — day & night, light & dark, sun & moon, messy and clean— I live life in high contrast! On this journey, I hope to bring inspiration to others through small and simple things in their daily lives. Whether it’s taking a minute to enjoy a warm cup of coffee, receiving a card or sticker that brightens the page of your daily planner, I like the thought of inspiring others through my own process of creativity and inspiration.
“If I can make something that makes somebody else smile, then my work here is done” - Amanda
