About Me Hello! My name is Amanda O'Connell. I grew up in the northeast but have spent the last four years in Arizona attending Arizona State University. I am proudly graduating in May of 2023 with honors from Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts with a Bachelor's Degree in Interior Design and a minor in Fashion. I love traveling and experiencing new places and cultures. Spending time by the ocean when possible is my way to mentally reset and be present. I love dogs and I volunteer at animal shelters, as well as foster dogs. Most importantly, I am passionate about interior design. As a designer, I am dedicated to creating beautiful, functional, and memorable spaces for clients to enjoy in their everyday life. I hope to continue to work alongside team members as well as clients and ensure they have a positive experience. CONTACT MOBILE: 732.425.9072 EMAIL: Amandaoconnell001@gmail.com

COFFEE BAR Desert Roast Co. was founded by two Arizona natives who dedicated their lives to travelling and coffee. They were able to continue traveling while owning a coffee shop by creating a space that is run by the consumer. This was accomplished by designing a service counter with self serve cold brew dispensers, alongside a wall of 20+ self serve syrup dispensers.
