Hi, I'm Tessa!
I fell in love with front-end web design and development because it combined my love of art with my passion for programming. I enjoy adding my own creative flair to projects, and being able to create all my own assets, meaning I can design and build a fully fledged website.
I have been programming for multiple years now, mostly in an educational setting. Within that time, I have become confident in HTML, CSS & JavaScript. My first language was Python, so I am also comfortable using it for a range of applications. More recently, I have been trying out JavaScript frameworks, such as Vite, React, and Express. These help me to push my websites to the next level and make larger websites more easy to maintain (in some cases). I have also spent some of the last year learning mobile app development using Dart and Flutter. This has opened up a whole new world of opportunities to me and I look forward to seeing where it takes me in the future.
I have always had a soft spot for art, having been creating all sorts of things from a very young age. More recently, I have become more focussed on my art, specifically graphics, which has greatly helped with my design and execution of websites. I have recently learnt how to use the Adobe suite, as well as Figma, which I find is a wonderful tool for designing and prototyping.
