Amanda Jensen is a Los Angeles-based multidisciplinary researcher, strategist, designer, educator, and creative consultant who reframes constraints into paradigm-shifting opportunities. With expertise spanning media design, tech, speculative design, film and brand storytelling, she uncovers the subtle cultural currents shaping niche communities and emerging trends.

She partners with cross-functional teams to deploy rapid-research frameworks by pioneering innovative co-design prototypes for AI-driven solutions, grounding visionary foresight in robust qualitative, quantitative and mixed method insights.

Her speculative practice evokes fresh perspectives on cultural and political engagement through immersive scenarios and hands-on toolkits that invite dialogue, empower collaboration, and equip communities when facing change.

Amanda's knack for storytelling bridge these worlds, from documentary narratives that elevate marginalized voices on major streaming platforms (Netflix, Apple TV, Prime Video) to projects that leverage satire and subliminal methods to distill cultural complexities into revelatory epiphanies.

She has also contributed as a guest critic, portfolio juror, lecturer, and grant judge at institutions like ArtCenter College of Design and Tyler School of Art & Architecture, by offering constructive feedback while supporting artistic and conceptual development.

Amanda supports a global network of mentees on ADPList by sharing her experience in career strategy, multimedia design, product design, and research. She has been recognized as a Top 10% Global Mentor, Top 10 Female Multimedia Mentor, and Top 1% Product Research Mentor.
