Meet me, Farshana. That's Farshana Datukon in full, and Nenen in short. (Use the short one if you want me to pay attention.) Seventeen, born July 22nd 1993. Currently living in Davao City, Philippines. Workaholic, but a self-admitted slow worker. Perfectionist. A college freshman sophomore trying to maintain straight A's. Likes reading books and solving problems that involve analysis. Skinny. Skinnier, even. :P
I have been a "freelance web and graphic designer" since September of 2009. I put that in quotations because I'm not exactly professional. I've never had any formal education regarding my work, unless you count a short year of basic HTML and one semester of Computer Applications. Everything I now know about webdesign has been self-taught, but that doesn't mean I don't know a lot. I've been working really hard to widen my knowledge on web publishing and design, especially in website coding. To be honest, I spend more time googling codes than surfing Facebook. :)
Anyway. I love challenging myself, and I love programming, coding, web publishing, layouting, designing, the works... That's really where my heart is. And that is why I'm doing this. Even though my parents would think this is a distraction to my studies, and that it doesn't really have anything to do with the course I'm taking (Medical Laboratory Science), the site lives on because I love my work. :) It's stressful but it's a stress-reliever too.
As a designer I make sure to give my clients layouts that I myself would be proud of. (I'm not THAT good though. I'm better at coding than at designing.) I do feel bad about asking for payment, but I experienced working for free and I was, sadly, taken advantage of. So I resolved to ask for payment that's expensive enough to be worth my effort but cheap enough compared to other sites. I don't hesitate to give help and advice for free, though. You know what they say... Being gifted doesn't mean you've been given something; it means you have something to give. :)
Please just don't kill me if I can't help you right away! ;-)
Skinny Ninny Designs (http://skinnyninny.com/hire) is an online web & graphic design service managed by sixteen-year-old amateur designer Farshana Datukon (Nenen). The site has been opened September of 2009 and is based on the Philippines. Here, visitors can choose from a selection of packages to order from the designer, browse tutorials or inquire from the site's helpdesk, and download various resources for their webdesign needs.
New (and young) as she may be, the designer hopes to provide clients with high quality designs, along with skilled coding for their personal, business, or entertainment websites. As long as clients are happy, she's happy! :)
(And in case you were wondering why the site is called "Skinny Ninny," it's because Nenen is skinny, and she's a ninny. Obviously. :D)

I really like Ate Nenen's works because she makes them simple yet elegant. As she says she's a slow worker but no, she's just busy with her studies because even though she is a great website designer she still focuses on her studies. She really is a great designer. She does what you want her to do about the layout you ordered. Her prices are fair and are not too much. She looks back to the days where she's just learning how to do the codings and share it with her clients. She is close to her clients, a great friend, ossum web designer and a funny sixteen yr old girl. Thank you for all ate Nenen. - CJ, AshleyTisdalePh.com
