Amanda Kievet’s Saigon Diary

I met Amanda while working at Work Saigon, a coworking space for designers in District 3. For the few weeks that our paths crossed I’d see her sitting in front of her laptop and Wacom tablet editing layouts in Indesign. She was preparing for her first photography opening — an intimate evening at The Observatory where her photos would hang for the night and her limited run of 25 printed zines would be sold.

We did a video interview with Amanda to find out how she discovered her passion for graphic design.
