Amanda Di Genova (NOVA)
Currently based in Montréal, QC.
I am an illustrator, designer and screenprinter.
I have over 15 years of experience in the print/design field.
I run a studio and clothing brand named "Elektrek".
Random Facts:
My biggest admirer is my quintessential pug, Mac.
If I could go back in time and meet anyone it would be Frida Kahlo and Andy Warhol's pug.
