Bio
My name is Amber Rose Francis and I am a Graphic Designer and Illustrator from the Central Coast of sunny California. However, the best part of my job is that I can work anywhere in the world and I take advantage of this wonderful career characteristic as often as I can! I am currently located in Madrid, Spain working as a graphic designer and children's book illustrator, but I am always available to consider a new career opportunity in the creative industry.
I have always been "the artist." Even from the early days when all the other kids were selling lemonade during the summer, I was selling custom drawings out of my radio flyer for a quarter a piece in front of my grandmother's house (Grandma was my best client).
I receive my inspiration from the people and experiences that fill my life from travel, random meetings, and the all the little things from just living. I love learning through confusion; it's difficult and frustrating at first, but I know that I will remember those lessons the most. I’m very detail oriented and a perfectionist when it comes to my work, however I have a messy deskspace that would make streamline designers cringe. I have come to realize that I am not fully comfortable, or efficient, in a workspace until I have stacks of haphazard books and papers, small piles of erasers shavings, and a small moisture ring on the table from my unending mug of vanilla chai :)
My ultimate designer dream is to continue the ability to work anywhere and with anyone. I fancy myself a free spirit of sorts and I feel if I put myself in a box then the creativity and vitality of life will cease...I think I have a lot to offer the world, and I hope I can do my part to serve in the areas where I can do the most good.
