Front-End Developer in the making
My Story
Hi I'm Gina, thanks for visiting my page. I'm currently enrolled in a Professional Certificate program with Meta for Front-End Development. Courses include Programming with JavaScript, HTML and CSS in depth, Version Control and React (Advanced).
In addition, I completed a Certificate Program with Google for entry level UX Design work. I have 3 sample projects I designed while earning my certificate. its been fun and challenging but well worth the time spent learning this new skill.
My goal is to become a Front-End Developer with a focus in Interaction and Motion Design.
In my free time I like to paint and pet every dog I meet.
I believe good design and powerful storytelling can bring a brand’s essence and personality to life. From conception to project completion listening is my top priority to ensure I deliver the best possible results. My approach combines design inspiration from the world of UX with market research and analysis to provide a well informed user experience.
