Amanda Schutz has owned and acted as Creative Director of Curio Studio since its inception in 2003. Then a recent graduate of MacEwan University (and later a distinguished Alumna and a Design Instructor), Amanda founded Curio from her downtown apartment with no seed money and no client roster to speak of.
Twenty years and over 600 clients later, Amanda’s adventurous talent, inexhaustible work ethic, and insatiable auto-didactism has sustained an illustrator-led design boutique renowned for dependability and high quality of output. Outside of Curio, Amanda is a fine artist, a professional illustrator, and founder of the non-profit Canadian Women in Design. In 2022, Amanda was named a Fellow of the Design Professionals of Canada.
Amanda is a proud mother to one Jacob and roughly three thousand tomato plants at any given time.
