Amy lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota with her husband, Jason, and their cats, Ellipses and Ampersand. She enjoys knitting, photography, and new adventures. She can still speak a little bit of German.
Amy is a self-motivated and adaptable front-end web developer who likes to think primarily about the user experience, accessibility, and the overall interface of a website. She strives to learn something new every day. Her passion is in building standards-compliant and modern websites that provide the best experience for any potential user. She always feels like a genius when she can get a tricky bit of JavaScript to work the way she wants, but she gets the most excited about how amazing CSS is.
Amy prefers Twitter over Facebook and has an infrequently updated blog. She can also be found on LinkedIn.
