Hello.
I'm Amy. I started designing web sites when I was about 16... I've always been interested in art, I've always been a little odd, a little hyper, and full of creative ideas! I learned how to make my first web site by meeting other web designers online. One in particular was a friend named Mathias, who lived in Italy at the time. He helped me to create my John Travolta tribute web site. I know... I'm a dork... but I've always liked him! I guess when I think about it, I can pin my entire design career path on my slight obsession with John Travolta. If it weren't for him, I would have never learned and became slightly obsessed with graphic arts and web site design.

I attended King's College (Wilkes-Barre PA) for Mass Communcations & Multimedia Technologies, which ranges anywhere from Graphic Design to Web Site Design, Television, Video, Radio, and Print Media. I have a full time job at a great web site design company, and at this point in my life I think I'm doing very well... and I'm a very happy designer. I started this company just so people can get to know me a little better, and get some information if they need a graphic designer. I helped a few friends with site designs, people liked my design work, and everything spread through word of mouth (which I've been very blessed to have... I appreciate the appreciation everyone!!).
