About OCA

Amanda, the heart behind Oxford Creative Atelier, was born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah. In 1991, she made a bold leap from the mountains to the South, enrolling at The University of Mississippi. What began as a college adventure eventually led her on a winding journey through Memphis, Salt Lake City, San Jose, Los Angeles, San Diego, Park City, Austin, and Atlanta — before she finally returned to her true happy place: Oxford, Mississippi.

Today, Amanda is pursuing her Master’s degree in Higher Education at the University of Mississippi while taking a courageous step into entrepreneurship with the launch of Oxford Creative Atelier.

Her career has been anything but ordinary — moving from social work to technology sales, then into hospitality, and back to tech partnerships. After being laid off from a tech startup in 2022, she stepped away to care for her parents and herself. During that reflective time, she discovered a hidden passion: creating beautiful, personalized designs for meaningful moments — from her father’s celebration of life and Ole Miss tailgates to birthday parties and custom favors.

What started as a personal creative outlet quickly gained encouragement from friends who fell in love with her designs. At 52, Amanda never imagined she would launch her own creative brand — but here she is, turning her vision into reality.

At Oxford Creative Atelier, we offer a curated collection of ready-to-enjoy products, many with customization options. Our true specialty, however, is transforming your ideas into high-quality, personalized digital art that celebrates life’s big and small moments — from graduations and birthdays to tailgates, weddings, and beyond.

Welcome to the Atelier. We’re so glad you’re here.
