// About
Hi, I'm Amanda
Irish web designer and developer, tech geek and travel lover. I started out in marketing and have spent over a decade running my own design studio, Itchy Fingers Design.
I design and build custom websites, from WordPress sites to static sites built with Etch Studio. Each is designed to look good, feel intuitive and work well for the people using it. My marketing background helps me see beyond the visuals to what a website needs to communicate and achieve.
I’m drawn to thoughtful typography, clear layouts and the small details that make an interface easier to use. I design from scratch rather than relying on off-the-shelf templates, with user experience and accessibility guiding my decisions.
This site brings together my work and what I learn along the way. You’ll find practical tutorials, design ideas and things worth sharing, whether you’re building your first website or refining your craft.
There’s always something new to figure out, and that’s part of what I love about this work.

What drives me
- 01
Who am I?
I’m curious, creative and happiest when I’m figuring something out. I enjoy getting to know people, approaching life with an open mind and solving real problems for businesses.
- 02
Making useful things
I want to create work that genuinely helps people. For me, good design isn’t just about appearance. It’s about making something clearer, easier or more enjoyable to use.
- 03
Keeping it human
Technology should work for people, not the other way around. That’s why I care about user experience and inclusive design: who can use what we build, and how it feels to use it.
- 04
How I approach things
Stay curious. Be kind. Listen before assuming. Keep learning, and be willing to change your mind. I try to bring that approach to both my work and everyday life.
- 05
Away from the screen
You’ll usually find me planning a trip, on a trip, looking forward to a trip, cooking something new or trying to persuade my vegetable patch to cooperate.
