Introduction
Every journey into tech begins somewhere. For me, it started with Canva — a tool that allowed me to experiment with creativity, design, and communication. What began as simple designs slowly became the spark that led me into the vast world of web development and programming.
Where It All Started
I used Canva to create posters, resumes, and even content for small projects. It was intuitive, fun, and gave me a sense of how visuals could tell a story. I didn’t realize it then, but I was already practicing the fundamentals of design thinking — clarity, user focus, and creativity.
Discovering Code
As my interest grew, I wanted to move beyond static visuals. I started exploring how websites worked, how designs could be made interactive, and how I could bring my creative ideas into something functional. That curiosity pulled me into the world of HTML, CSS, and later, JavaScript.
From Design to Development
- Canva taught me simplicity and visual hierarchy.
- Coding taught me logic and structure.
- Together, they shaped my ability to build not just pretty designs, but also functional, user-friendly web experiences.
Why This Transition Matters
Shifting from Canva to code helped me understand that design and development aren’t separate — they complement each other. A beautiful design without functionality falls flat, and a well-built app without good design feels incomplete.
Conclusion
Looking back, I’m glad Canva was my starting point. It showed me the power of creativity and gave me the foundation to appreciate design. Today, as I grow in coding and web development, I carry that creative mindset with me — because in the end, tech is strongest when design and code work together.
