As a teenager I just wanted somewhere online to share videos of my friends skateboarding, but YouTube didn't exist yet so I had to code my own website—I had no idea this was the start of my web design career.
I later studied Graphic Design to avoid becoming a starving artist, but I accidentally fell in love with design & my studies soon collided with my fascination of the rapidly developing web. UX Design was too new to be taught in school, but I couldn't help voluntarily including digital components in my class projects. Once I entered the real world I dove into designing for the web & haven't come up for air since.
