April 10, 2025 – Back-to-Back Wins: Fungai Tichawangana is Alignable’s businessperson of the year for Amherst – again!

We’re thrilled to share that our founder, Fungai Tichawangana, also known as Fungai, Your Web Guy, has been named Alignable’s Business of the Year for Amherst for the second year in a row!

That’s right—2024 and now 2025. Two years. One title. And a growing movement behind it.

Alignable’s Business of the Year award is based on peer recommendations from fellow small business owners. To win once is an honor. To win twice? That’s a message: the work we’re doing at Artist Dynamix is resonating deeply with the community.

Thank you to everyone who voted!

We also want to recognize a local legend, Judy Herrell, who was named Alignable’s Local Business Person of the Year for Northampton in 2025. BusinessWest just ran an article on her win, which you can read here. Judy’s ice cream is legendary and if you haven’t already done so, do check out Herrell’s Ice Cream in Northampton or at The Mill District in North Amherst. has been a cornerstone of the region’s business and cultural scene for decades, and her recognition is a huge win for everyone who values small business and community.
