About Amanda Lee Swanson

Meet Amanda, a 24-year-old native of Minneapolis, Minnesota, is a burgeoning architectural enthusiast and writer who recently joined forces with us. Having recently graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Architecture from Dunwoody College of Technology in 2023, Amanda is poised at the intersection of creativity and precision. Her fascination with architecture was ignited early on, inspired by the skyline of Minneapolis which she refers to as concrete jungles. Amanda's creative obsessiveness revolves around the interplay of form and function, where she sees buildings as static structures and dynamic expressions of larger-than-life creativity of us as beings. For Amanda, architecture is more than just a profession; it's an exploration of how design shapes our interactions with the built environment. In her writing, Amanda Lee Swanson seeks to unravel the stories behind the facades, exploring the narratives of the architects and people who inhabit these spaces. Her keen eye for detail and passion for exploring the leading lines, give her a unique perspective. Outside work, Amanda enjoys hiking the trails of the North Woods and finding inspiration in nature's own architecture and how you won’t be able to find the right angle there. She also finds solace in the rhythm of Minneapolis' vibrant arts scene, where she often seeks new ideas and perspectives to inform her creative endeavors. As Amanda Lee Swanson embarks on her professional journey, she looks forward to contributing her vision to the ever-evolving landscape of architecture, shaping environments that resonate with meaning and purpose. And we are super excited to see her grow.
