About AMANDA

I was born and raised in Southern California, gaining a background in performing arts for 17 years. While studying classical dance (emphasis in ballet) for my B.A. at the University of California, Irvine, I started teaching children’s dance classes and adult fitness classes. Upon graduating, I continued to teach while overseeing the marketing and business operations of the dance company. In 2015, I left dance behind to pursue a marketing career. While managing feast.fashion.faves (now amandanhammond) my lifestyle blog, I also contributed to ladylux.com, ehow.com and the Irvine Chamber of Commerce’s “Destination Irvine” tourism blog.

I have served as co-Editor-in-Chief for two issues of Alpha/Omega magazine along with having my wardrobe styling published in various publications; founded and operated accessories company Whim Things and worked for Manna Kadar Beauty as a marketing assistant. I am now a global marketing manager for a tech company and continue to write and create content for my blog, local shopping centers, beauty & fashion brands, restaurants and more.

I’ve been featured in VietBeauty, Locale Magazine, Voyage LA and CBS Los Angeles. With over a decade experience in marketing, media & event production wearing various hats combined with my 7+ years of corporate experience project managing and overseeing trade show logistics allows me to be a versatile creative and business savvy individual. I own and operate custom gift & signage shop Hammond Haus as well as consult through my agency Moon & Monstera. I currently reside in Orange County, California with my maltipoo, Lucky, but would love to be traveling the world! Thanks for stopping by and being apart of my journey, and you’d like to work together, you can contact me here.
