I received my bachelors of arts in English and Design from the University of Miami in 2019. As a student, I ran my first business, A-Frame Graphic Designs, where I provided print and digital design services. One of my package design projects for my former client, Sweet Whispers, was featured in the New York Times.

A two week long remote seminar on modern css techniques taught by Stephany Eckles. In this seminar we followed along as Stephany instructed a group of engineers and designers on modern css techniques including aspect-ratio, css variables, and building design systems using 11ty. The virtual classroom setting was collaborative and friendly. I'm hoping to take another Smashing Co course soon!

I really enjoyed the structure of this platform because it allows me to search for a topic and find a specific video even if it was inside of a course I was not enrolled in, more similar to youtube than Udemmy. I particulary enjoyed the segments featuring Evan Yue, the creator of Vue, which often offered a highly nuanced breakdown of what makes Vue work behind the scenes. The instructors are engaging and I highly recommend this platform as a resource for anyone looking to learn more about Vue.

This course (and many others from Colt Steele) has really reinforced my understanding of Javascript. Specifically, promises, asynchronous functions and using classes all made more sense to me after taking this course.

This book gave me a better understanding of the history of computers! A great read for those looking to learn about how memory works and how we moved from the telegraph / repeater to the computer.
