Where it all began.
I love art and I have always been an artist since way back in primary school. In high school I fell in love with code and couldn't take my eyes off the green lines on the console. In my first year of Uni, I made my first website with HTML and performed a few tweaks to beautify it using CSS which made me feel like a god😂😂😂. Here is where I was drawn to perfection in web applications and as time flew, mobile apps.
Inception
After attending a 20 week bootcamp, I learnt the basics and cores of web development in the most advanced way I could afford. From simple HTML5 to javascript then Angular JS and later REACT. I graduated as a Fullstack developer and went into the world of development where I started off as a frontend developer.
Inspiration & Journey since.
Designs on sites like Dribble, Behance and Pinterest blew my mind away and for any project I started, I'd find myself always trying to beautify the frontend and ended up submitting the project with a faulty backend😂😂.Comments such as "Gerald, you're good at frontend," made me so happy and tuned my mind to the direction of Interface Design. Here is where my passion for UI Design was born.
I self taught myself with resources from Youtube(FLUX, Punit Chawla and many more) and a couple of courses on Skillshare. Fortunately I got a freelance job which has been my pillar of experience, helping me grow and discover more in the UX/UI field. Today, I'm proud of the step I took into design, fixing things to make someone happy as they look at their devices, as they click that link in expectancy to feel awesome and have a smooth run.
Word of Encourangement.
To anyone who's starting off in UX/UI Design, keep on pushing, don't give up, keep on building, keep working on those components😉.
