Amanda
Sideboard's founding artist and the standard every other artist on the platform is measured against.
Sideboard Standard
Bio
The artist Sideboard was built around.
Amanda is the artist Sideboard was built around. Self-taught hand letterer, lifelong illustrator, and the standard every other Sideboard artist is measured against.
She works in chalk, paint pen, and traditional sign-painter brushes — but the throughline is the same: every letter is drawn, not generated. Every board has a small mistake somewhere, and that's the point.
She's based in Coeur d'Alene and currently takes on subscription clients across the CDA area.
The Sideboard Standard
Earned, not assumed.
Every artist on Sideboard passes a portfolio review and a real-world test sign before they take a single client. Amanda set the bar — and she keeps it.
