About

Thank you for visiting! I’m Amy Kvistad and have 20 years of experience as a graphic designer and 10 years of experience as a web designer and developer. I work with clients directly and also partner with small businesses to achieve the best results for you.

Before launching my small business I worked as a graphic designer for several architectural and engineering firms in Boston. My introduction to WordPress came at WordCamp Boston in 2009. After taking a web development class, I started designing and developing WordPress websites.

I provide graphic design across a broad range of marketing materials, including infographics and social media graphics. Read more about graphic design.

Web Design and Development

My strategic approach focuses on solving problems and delivering results. The website process starts with planning, design, and improving user experience. It includes website development that is fast, lean, and meets accessibility guidelines. It continues with exceeding your goals with measurable results. Read more about web design and development.
