With a background in fine art and creative writing, I bring a creative perspective and editorial eye to my web work. I am passionate about technology and learning as much as possible in this ever-changing industry.
My Story
Since my background is a little unusual, I’m usually asked how I got involved with working on websites. Here’s how:
1
I graduated with a degree in painting and creative writing.
2
During my senior year of college, I worked on a project where I put together a portfolio website for my artwork. I taught myself HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
3
I remember how much I enjoyed putting together my portfolio website – learning new information, the struggle of getting things to work, and how proud I was when it all came together.
4
I started working as a website consultant for a nonprofit. I continued to learn how to build sites and build them better.
5
Later I found other opportunities where I learned new skills like how to build responsive websites and picked up other programming languages like Python and Ruby.
6
And now I’m continuing to grow and learn. The web field is filled with endless possibilities to build different types of applications. And I am hungry to learn as much as I can.
