Set & Costume design
" Amanda Wong is a great designer. Her work is thoughtful and informed by both the dramaturgy of the play and a carefully refined aesthetic. She works beautifully with all the members of the creative team, with a special skill of maximizing all the resources available. Amanda is an excellent collaborator, a natural innovator and a total joy to work with. Any company would be so fortunate to have her! "
- Peter Hinton
" Amanda Wong is an unlikely mix of calm and passion. She is a deeply creative person whose set and costume designs are coherent, imaginative, gorgeous and functional. She cares deeply about every aspect of production and treats every person and object with an abundance of care. In our now three collaborations, I have been in great hands from our first meeting to our closing night."

Amanda believes that as storytellers our responsibility isn't just to entertain, but also to inspire, to be a catalyst for change; or an opportunity for emotional release. I approach every project with a collaborative spirit and allow my emotional gut reaction to lead my creative process. I place a strong emphasis on sustainable design practices, reusing, upcycling and using biodegradable materials wherever possible. I often ask "how can the materials we have on hand tell our story?". As a designer I aim to serve the story being told through striking, unique imagery; as a collaborator I attempt to have the whole team feel heard, supported and valued.
