Amanda Taarup Betz’s creative process typically begins with classic pencil sketches which are transferred to paper that she folds, cuts and print. She enjoys pushing the boundaries of paper, to achieve new experimental shapes. These early stages are often reflected in products that maintain some of the delicate expression of the initial paper drafts. The inspiration for her products often springs from the visual effects of patterns, light and shadow combined with studies of architecture, nature and design history.’
