Hey peoplekind! I was born in London but grew up most of my life in Providence, Rhode Island. I currently am living in Worcester full time, but I do a lot of moving in my spare time. In my current life I have been doing a lot of front-end development which for people who are not techy is designing the front of websites using code. I also do a lot of UX (user experience) design where there is a fine line as to balancing what is aesthetically pleasing to what is understandable to the user. I have had a lot of experience with digital art making and I could never really go to traditional after that due to there being a lack of a ctrl+z. I have kind of done a bit of 3D animation, 2D animation, and illustrator designs which makes me more of a generalist in the field rather than being a specialist. I have been very much self-taught in programming, and I have confidence in Python, JS, HTML, and CSS. But if there is a new language to learn for this course, I am pretty sure I can get a hang of it quickly. I currently enjoy making app and website prototypes to test with users but a creative art I like to do when I am not in a small apartment is playing the keyboard. I also play the bass and the guitar, but I would really like to get back into electronic music. One of my creative inspirations is art that is simple but has a strong meaning such as Don Hertzfeldt but sometimes the opposite also inspires me such as a Rube Goldberg machine. I am also inspired by creatures from Lovecraftian lore having grown up in Providence. Recently traveling to see family and working in a pandemic sort of halted recent creative projects but currently I have been trying to get back in the swing of designing again but images I show will be of works I deem most important. I really like volleyball, anime, and cooking and I would put those two at the top of my list. I really like to heavily analyze things and form charts. I also like to repair machinery and find cheap ways to do tasks. If you have any questions, ask away and let\u2019s make some art!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
