Amanda Blanca

Amanda Blanca is a multi-media artist and designer. Her work addresses improvements to the quality of life for people with disabilities through product-development. She recognizes the impact of a product that is rendered useless in the hands of someone with a disability. She designs using artisanal materials – weaving, papermaking, natural fabrics, and woodworking – to enhance physical relationships.
