I specialize in creating visually appealing and intuitive user interfaces that leave a lasting impression.
Your brand is your story, and I’m here to help you tell it visually. I ensure that every design elements are aligned.
“You don’t want to code. I’m telling you — you don’t. It’s like having a sandbox and if something goes wrong, you have to look through all the grains of sand until you find the broken one.”
The year was Twenty-Nineteen, and the voice of reason belonged to my BF, giving his initial response to my interest in learning HTML.
“If you really were interested in learning to code, you would already have looked into it.”
Funnily enough, I hadn’t previously considered it. Working shit jobs and living out of my car, I was in 24/7 survival mode. Not a lot of time to dream.
At that point, I’d had reliable employment, a solid realationship and a place to call home. It’s amazing what sleeping and showering indoors and getting decent meals can do for your outlook.
“Well, if you really want to learn … I can tell you how to get started.”
The first time I looked at code, it made ZERO sense. Bullet points were “&bull”. Colors, like my favorite shade of blue, were numbers (hex codes). Don’t get me started on javascript, which I initially referred to as javashit — again, IYKYK. I was barely out of the gate when I got my first client. To say I was in over my head was an understatement. It was like taking a toddler who just learned to walk and making her a Rockette.
Mad respect to my BF for supporting me in those first months. Having to ask him for help at 3:00am (after a 17+ hour workday) because I promised I’d have an update live the next morning. I’d sat with it for hours and couldn’t figure out what I did wrong. He’d look at the code I’d written, tap a key or two, and viola! What he called his “patented 5-minute fix”.
