FEATURED PROJECTS

Whether dousing people in celebratory confetti, helping music addicts marinate in the melodies at intimate concerts, or revolutionizing the art industry, Amanda Kelly Espiritu has put her creativity, ingenuity and ability to wear ALL the hats to the test with a diverse range of startups, non-profits, artist collectives, authors, global communities, and other businesses.
