Hire me for custom design, commissioned portraits, and original illustration work. Each service includes a clear next step: either book the service or view relevant work in the portfolio.
Build a brand that actually feels like you. I create custom logos and identity systems designed to stand out, scale well, and represent your business with clarity and intention.
Professional design that makes people stop, look, and remember. From print pieces to digital graphics, I create marketing materials that keep your brand consistent and visually strong.

I'm Amanda Walls, graphic designer, illustrator, painter, and the hand behind Adroitella Art and Design. Based in Colorado Springs, I work with clients locally and across the US, across acrylic and oils, graphite, Prismacolor colored pencils, digital, and mixed media.
I didn't have a single dramatic moment that pulled me toward art. I just started, fell in love, and kept coming back. What I didn't expect was that the moment that would change everything for me wouldn't be one of joy, but one of grief.
When I lost my German Shepherd, Octavius, I was in the middle of an Illustration class and decided to draw him, large, on a 20×30 illustration board. I had always doubted my ability to do realism. I told myself it wasn't something I could do. But somewhere inside that grief, with a pencil in my hand and his face in my memory, something unlocked. The portrait came out beautifully, more realistic than anything I believed I was capable of.
That piece became the foundation of everything. In healing from losing him, I discovered a skill I didn't know I had. Pet portraits, people portraits, paintings, brand identities, it all grew from that one drawing of Octavius. I still consider those pieces of him to be some of the work I am most proud of.
I don't believe in limiting myself to one niche. I put the same obsessive attention and care into every subject and medium I work in, because I think excellence doesn't have to live in a narrow box. When you work with me, you're getting someone who takes what they do seriously, and who genuinely loves every piece they create.
