Beautiful design is an artform. I have a fondness for simple designs and colors that come together to create something amazing and easy to use.
For me, coding is thrilling. It's what gives design life. I love being able to take code and find out how it works and what else I can do with it.
Photography, video editing and creative writing are additional hobbies I do in my spare time between coding and graphics projects.
