web design:

The minute my curiosity help me learn how to build and design websites, I immediately fell in love. There are times when code and I argue but in the end it always turns out okay. In the process of all that, beautiful, interactive websites are built.

I love everything about web design. I completely understand the need for programming to make a website functional but my favorite part is CSS. The first thing you see when a website is done loading is the design and I love spending all my time to create that attention grabber for users.

philosophy:

“Less is more”...My favorite motto. Personally, design doesn't need to be all crazy, over the top or loud. You can express whatever you need to with as little as just a picture or simply typography. Getting the users' attention can be done without overwhelming them with chaotic designs. Minimalistic web design can create beautiful, timeless perfections. Not to mention they're just as easy to maintain as well as build.
