Amanda Campbell
Amanda Campbell’s passion for sewing and fashion design started when her grandmother taught her at a young age. She quickly fell in love and graduated with a B.F.A. in fashion design and a minor in media studies from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2015. She had her clothing brand, ABLE By Amanda Campbell, for 7 years, selling collections of women’s ready-to-wear and evening looks and creating custom designs for clients. Following that, Campbell was the lead designer at Sassy Jones for 4 years, heading the creation of the brand's clothing and accessories lines.
She now runs her own freelance fashion design and brand consulting business, Amanda Campbell Couture & Consulting, where she uses her 14-plus years of industry experience to help designers and companies across the country launch and grow their brands.
She has been teaching at VisArts since 2021 and is eager to share her experience and knowledge of sewing and design with others.
