As a creator with a background in visual design, I strive to develop exciting new technologies that enhance the experience of life. Growing up, I wished to be an artist. Pursuing an education in graphic design, I found myself unwittingly applying code in programs that were, from my understanding, purely visual in function. This sparked my initial interest in programming as a creative tool. Gravitating away from the graphic design field over time, I found myself wishing to create something more practically applicable, ultimately leading to my enrollment in the Fullstack Academy Coding Bootcamp at the University of North Florida. At the conclusion of a rigorous 7 month course, I`ve found great satisfaction in code`s ability to develop directly functional products while also allowing a level of creative expression far more rich and complex than I`d ever imagined. I enthusiastically seek opportunities to apply the new skills I`ve acquired along with those from my past experiences to create works that help us better understand and appreciate the world around us. ©
