Brazilian/Swiss artist Amanda Seiler was Born in New York in 1979 and moved to Switzerland at a young age, where she spent Her formative years developing a deep interest in English literature, Psychology, and most of all, Art.
​
Amanda spent two and a half years at Boston University, where she briefly studied psychology before a creative internship in Rio de Janeiro compelled her to relocate and switch courses to pursue Industrial Design at Faculdade da Cidade, Rio de Janeiro.
​
A University work placement program at Amsterdam Sauer Jewelers provided her with both graphic and object design training and sparked a fascination with the craftsmanship of making fine jewelry. Parallel to working at Amsterdam Sauer design department and later Junia Machado Designs, Amanda learned and was certified in goldsmithing at SENAI and Gemology at A. B. G. A.
In 2008, a need to expand design skills led to Sao Paulo for a Maya 3D training program and later a course in After Effects. Although the original intention was to develop jewelry design capabilities, the creative output began to veer towards elaborate digital artworks that caught the eye of a digital content producer and opened the door to the world of Motion Graphics. It was the beginning of a more digital line of work in concept art and animation for television commercials at Digital21 in Sao Paulo.
Throughout this journey, Amanda continued creating her art in the background. After leaving Digital 21 in 2012, she gradually stepped back from design to focus on her art. After five years in Sao Paulo, Amanda returned to Rio and began establishing herself as an artist.
