Who's Behind Slash7?
I am!
My name is Amy Hoy.
I have a personal web site, a company, a business partner, a Flickr photo stream, and an apartment in southern Maryland.
I also bookmark things.
Consulting?
Do I do consulting? Boy, do I! That's what my company, Hyphenated People, is all about. My partner John and I focus on product design, usability, user interaction and graphic (web, identity) design.
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 2008 (full-day tutorial and regular session)
- SXSW 2008
- RailsConf (06 & 07)
- OSCON (06 & 07—including a 3-hour tutorial)
- Workshop for Good (2-day training course for charity)
- Philly Emerging Tech
- FOSCON
- Canada on Rails
- web|works

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.
