About Beyond the Fridge

Beyond the Fridge was founded by designer and printmaker Amanda McIvor.

Amanda began her career as a graphic designer after meeting husband Duncan at Art School and together they went on to form their award winning design company a year after graduating.

After a career working for many of the UK's leading brands, the catalyst for establishing Beyond the Fridge was born through a desire to free herself from the constraints of corporate design, achieving a long held ambition to bring together her own unique and uncompromising collections of original products for the home.

Today Amanda is truly following her calling, being inspired by the things around her to which she gives her own imaginative twist, such as, plants, wildlife, her allotment and frequently revisits a seaside theme.

Since launching, Amanda has received tremendous feedback for her designs and has built up an enthusiastic following of discerning customers. Read Amanda's blog 'Life Beyond the Fridge', follow on Twitter or 'like' on Facebook for all the latest news.
