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.
