DesignOps Executive and Front-end Developer in-training

I am a multipassionate creative with an unquenchable thirst to learn more. One of my more recent endeavours was to learn how to code, at first this was to better understand the roles of my design colleagues, but i found I was never quiet satisfied which each project which lead me to pursue further course after further course to better my abilities.

Monumental milestones *(I've always loved aliteration)
A screenshot of my first ever landing page about my appreciation for fantasy fiction. It is very bright pastel blue and purple ombre background with a white card centered in the page containing content of the page.

I love Fantasy Fiction | My first landing page

My first project that I coded all on my own. Definitely a project that could use some improvements, but it is a good reference point when it comes to self reflection to see how far I have come. Pastel colours and questionable content asside, it is a moment I will smile in remembering.

Screenshot of the Weather app that I built in SheCodes Plus. Again, there is a theme of pastel ombre but this time there is more yellow than purple. The name of the location is displays at the top of a card that is centred to the page. Within the card the temperature of the location, humidity, wind speed and current weather are also listed.

When I finally got this working, I was so proud, it is fully integrated with APIs and uses Javascript to amend data presented accordingly.

Upon reflection, this isn't the most accessible of applications, nor is it responsive. I, however, do plan to recreate this project in time, to fulfil both of those things.

A croissant themed website is not the best idea to be had but it did provide a simple premise for a multiple page website. This image is a screenshot of 'The Humble Croissant' which almost sounds like a pub. The webpage, however, consists of a proud title with a small body copied from Wikipedia below it. The relevance of this project is that I learnt the ability to connect multiple pages of html, so there is a basic nav that features at the bottom of each page.

Although very simple, this was another proud moment as I perceived the possibilities of learning this lesson. For starters, I am able to create a portfolio to demonstrate a holistic view of the skills i have learned, something which could be beneficial if I sought a role in this profession.

A screenshot of the portfolio project, used by SheCodes as part of their tutorials, this is the design I strayed from in order to create the portfolio you are reading from. A very large title displaying my name features top and centre of the page, there is also a navigation bar this time as BootStrap has been imported. Upon the lower half of the page there is what appears to be the start of a list of projects. All of which are listed alongside an image; in this project, it was for a Yoga App.

Portfolio Project | My first responsive website

This was the initial design for this portfolio as taught in the SheCodes Responsive course. This marking the end of another workshop is also another landmark in my endeavour to improve my ability to built web and phone based websites.
For this reason I went on to submit the portfolio you are perusing this very minute as my final project for SheCodes Responsive, I am ever so glad I signed up to SheCodes Max as there are a few more courses to come and I am ever so excited to see what I make in those.
