Amanda Rouse Letscher is a licensed surface designer, printmaker, and educator based in the United States, working as Rouse House Design. She is an adjunct professor of design at the University of New Hampshire and serves as an administrator for @patternobserver, a professional resource for the surface pattern design industry. Her practice spans art licensing, print commissions, and printmaking, with a focus on bold colour and shape-forward graphic work.
Bold colour blocking and intuitive drawing are central to her practice. Compositions are described as shape-forward, derived from making processes including screen printing, paper collage, and knitwear. The portfolio features a confident, graphic aesthetic with strong colour relationships and clean geometric forms. The work reads as playful without sacrificing graphic rigour.
Screen printing, paper collage, and knitwear are core physical methods. Adobe Illustrator is used to digitise paper-based concepts for print onto fabric, paper, and products. Her process moves from analogue making to digital production, with the physical origins visible in the resulting work.
Licensed surface designer open to commissions, licensing, and collaborations. Work documented on fabric, paper, and product surfaces. Academia-adjacent through her teaching role at the University of New Hampshire and community role at Pattern Observer.
