Rachel graduated from MacEwan University’s Design & Illustration program in 2014, and has been at Curio ever since.

Amanda Schutz loves to grow things — in her garden, in the design industry, and in her community. As the founder and creator director at Curio Studio, Amanda planted the seeds of kindness and creativity that have grown into a successful design studio. Between client projects, she profiles her peers on the Canadian Women in Design website, indulges a healthy obsession with lichen, loves to paint, and loves to parent. Amanda has taught design & illustration at her alma mater, MacEwan University, and is a two-term past president of the Graphic Designers of Canada, Alberta North Chapter.
