About me.

My name is Amanda, or you can call me Blue. Growing up in Minnesota, I’ve always had a drive to create art. I found my love of designing and building websites in college, where I learned how to combine code and graphics into functional, beautiful interfaces.

I’ve been in the industry for over ten years, but I’m always learning something new with every project I take on. My strengths lie in html and css, and my ability to collaborate well with others to make stronger end products.

If you happen to hear some light snoring during our call, that’s just my wonderful co-worker, Bella! She’s amazing with people, but she has a bit of a tendency to take power naps under my desk when things get quiet.
