How Did we Get Here?

Ama Allen, a free spirit based in LA, is on a mission to chase her dreams in art direction and social strategy. Growing up in Portland, Oregon, she found her bliss in art, music, and all things creative. Expressing herself wasn't always easy and discovering her identity was a challenge, but art provided the perfect outlet. When she realized she could use her creativity to shape culture and be a part of something special, she knew art direction and content creation were her calling. Now, living in LA post-graduation, Ama juggles a job in social media strategy while diving headfirst into her passions. She's beyond excited for what's to come!

Out of Office:

Ama can cook you just about any meal or will risk it all trying. She could spend hours at the thrift store, hates running but lives for a runner high, considers a margarita her soulmate on a hot and sunny day, and is the friend who thinks everything is picture-worthy.
