BEHIND LLCo.

Hey there, you found me! I’m Amanda—the creative mind, chief multitasker, and wearer of all the hats at Lakeland Creative Co.

By day, I’ve spent over a decade crafting stories in recruitment marketing and communications, mostly in higher ed and nonprofits. By night, I’m living my best mild, mild Midwest life with my husband, our Chesapeake Bay Retriever who thinks she’s a queen, and twin toddlers who bring nonstop energy and endless joy (and, let’s be honest, occasional chaos).

When I’m not designing, you’ll find me rewatching my favorite rom-coms, soaking up those chef’s kiss perfect warm evenings, and sneaking in a rare but glorious lazy morning whenever possible.

Starting LCCo. was a leap—equal parts exciting and nerve-wracking—but creating designs that make people smile? Totally worth it. If you ever have an idea you’d love to see come to life, let me know. I'm open to custom designs and orders for stationery design and orders, themed birthday party merch, and more!

And for a peek behind the scenes, including new drops and my valiant attempts at keeping up with social media trends, follow along at @lakelandcreativeco on Insta.
