My Beginnings in Web Design
I took my first web design class on a whim in my second year of high school. We covered basic HTML tags, Photoshop, Illustrator, and by the time the course was done I was hooked. Taking my own initiative, I spent hours researching HTML tags and building my own websites.
Web Design has highlighted itself for me as a perfect union of creativity and intellectual challenges. The creative aspect I have had from the beginning, taking art classes from the time I was five and being complimented on my advanced creations up through present day. The intellectual side of it brings out the programmer in me, a side that I did not discover until university when I found I had a talent and a passion for coding.
The combination of these two aspects has fuelled my continued self-education of the subject both inside and outside of the education system. I strive to continue to build my knowledge in this area, and to grow a career based on its foundation.
