the violet mind

Amanda Farough is a web rock-star, currently peddling her wares in web design and development; in a previous incarnation, she was a bad-ass software developer. On her off hours, she designs (and plays) video games, writes novels that may never be published, and dances in the rain.

So, you need a website. You've been looking for that special someone to share your vision but no one seems to get what you're after.

You've tried agencies: too expensive. You've tried craigslist: somewhat shady. Hell, you've even tried straight-up advertising: not enough results. No one gets you.

I get you.

We're probably destined to work together. My designs are clean and minimalist with a touch of whimsy. But hey, I'm flexible. Let's sit down and have a coffee together to make your web design dreams come true.

Who can bring together a design and code it up as quick as a kid on a sugar high? Why, that'd be me!

Now, I know what you're thinking. "Amanda, you can't really consider yourself a designer and a developer, can you? I mean, that's splitting your time! Stick to what you're best at!"

I tell you, friends, I do have a specialty: finding creative solutions to your design and development qualms.

Maybe you're a designer who's fed up with the irritations of writing code. You just want to design. Or perhaps you're a dev that's looking for a designer. Let's be partners. In crime. In code and creativity.

Or maybe you're a creative professional looking to start your own business and you really don't want to shop around for just a designer and/or just a developer.

Specifically, I'm a generalist. If you're looking for a one-stop shop, I'm your woman. Let's talk happy, shiny solutions.

A Simple Nod to the Extraordinary

Posted by Amanda on Thursday Feb 4, 2010 | Classified as: Everything Else | Sub-Classified as:

You’re my world
The shelter from the rain
You’re the pills
That take away my pain
You’re the light
That helps me find my way
You’re the words
When I have nothing to say
And in this world
Where nothing else is true
Here I am
Still tangled up in you
I’m still tangled up in you
Still tangled up in you
You’re the fire
That warms me when I’m cold
You’re the hand
I have to hold as I grow old
You’re the shore
When I am lost at sea
You’re the only thing
That I like about me
And in this world
Where nothing else is true
Here I am
Still tangled up in you
I’m still tangled up in you
How long has it been
Since this storyline began
And I hope it never ends
And goes like this forever
In this world
Where nothing else is true
Here I am
Still tangled up in you
Tangled up in you
I’m still tangled up in you
Still tangled up in you

Tangled Up in You – Staind (The Illusion of Progress)

I found you in the most unlikely place, almost five years ago. This love thing; there’s nothing quite like it.
