me
My name is Amber Rose Francis and I am a Graphic Designer and Illustrator originally based out of 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 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.

thank you for bookmarking me! I appreciate your visit!
I have been examinating out some of your posts and i can claim nice stuff. I will definitely bookmark your site.
Thanks Federico! I appreciate your comment! This is a paid theme called “React” by The Theme Foundry; but I have modified it to achieve my purposes as a blog and a portfolio for my art and design.
I am extremely impressed with your writing skills and also with the layout on your blog. Is this a paid theme or did you modify it yourself? Anyway keep up the nice quality writing, it’s rare to see a nice blog like this one today..
Hey Amber, Just wanted to say how great it was to meet you and have dinner together at Ray & Chris’. I loved hearing your travel tales…what an incredible year you’ve have since leaving leaving school at Cal Poly. And after meeting you, I have no doubt that you will continue to experience new and wonderful adventures throughout your life.
Now that I know how to find you on your website, I will be able to follow what I know will be your great successes. Oh yea, and allow a little space and grace for those other experiences that are not so successful.
You’re a delightful, smart, talented young woman and I regard it as a stroke of very good fortune to have met you.
Best to you always (and I’ll be watching you on Oprah too!)
