Who's Behind Slash7?
I am!
My name is Amy Fuchs, but since I've got this "personal brand" thing going on (and no small amount of Google juice) I still go by Amy Hoy.
I have a personal web site (you're looking at it), a company, a business partner and a husband who happen to be one in the same: Thomas Fuchs.
I put photos online. I also bookmark things. And I tweet.
Consulting?
Do I do consulting? Boy, do I! I focus on product design, usability, user interaction and graphic (web, identity) design. Thomas, of course, does amazing JavaScript things you couldn't believe possible.
If this sounds at all up your alley, email away. And don't wait too long, because we book up pretty fast... and I'd love to talk with you about your project.
Engage me to speak!
I speak at conferences, I've done training, am training, will do training. Now that we've got all the verb tenses covered, I can speak or train for you—about UI, product design, design in general, Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, or life, in general. Drop me a line.
Past speaking gigs have included:
- Webstock (full-day tutorial and regular session)
- SXSW
- RailsConf
- OSCON (regular sessions and a tutorial)
- Workshop for Good (2-day training course for charity)
- Philly Emerging Tech
- FOSCON
- Canada on Rails
- web|works
See the sidebar for links to my slide stacks.
I also ran failcamp with my buddy Alex Hillman.
Talk to me
I love hearing from my readers (that'd be you!). You can email me, chat me up on the Freenode IRC network (I'm eriberri), or leave me a comment.
