Web Design

I completed numerous projects outside of my 9-to-5 job, dedicating my evenings and weekends to freelance work and personal ventures. Most of these projects were web design assignments, where I had the opportunity to work with a diverse range of clients from various industries. This additional work allowed me to expand my skill set and stay current with the latest design trends and technologies. I designed everything from simple, elegant portfolio sites for artists and photographers to complex e-commerce platforms for small businesses. Each project presented its own unique challenges and learning opportunities, helping me to refine my approach to user experience, responsive design, and visual storytelling. This extracurricular experience not only honed my technical abilities but also enhanced my project management skills, as I had to balance multiple deadlines and client expectations while maintaining the high standards of quality and creativity that I hold myself to.
