My passion for web design started in High School. As a class project my sophomore year, we were asked to build a web page. Of course I had no idea what kind of site I should make so I started building a site for my youth group. Well, it didn't come out as well as I had hoped, but hey I was still learning. Either way I enjoyed it immensely.

After that year I had to transfer schools. So at my new High School I took a class called PV Online. As a class we were in charge of building and maintaining the school website, but also creating videos for the graduation DVD. I mainly focused on the video aspect of the class, but still had my turn editing and building web pages.

I enrolled in the class again the next year because I had so much fun the previous year. The teacher was great as well, but I also wanted to take a photography course. I had met the photography teacher the previous year because we used the computers in her classroom and I loved her humor, the way she helped us and enjoyed talking to us girls (since there were only 3 of us in a sea of men). It was through this connection that I got my first freelance job while in college. But that's going a little too far forward.

Any way’s, after high school I went to college at the Art Institute of California - San Francisco. It was there that I truly fell in love with web design. I'll admit I wasn't the best of students, but I tried and worked hard. Then finally in September of 2007, I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Interactive Media Design after going through some very rough times financially, mentally and emotionally.

While at the Art Institute my photography teacher from high school asked me to build a website for a non-profit organization she was a member of. So I did and I found out that I loved doing freelance work. I was able to work directly with my client, build, design, and basically have free reign over the entire project.

Since that day I have done a few more freelance jobs and hope to do many more over the coming years, but I would still love to be on a team of designers for a large company. So, that I can learn from my co-workers, as well as pass on my knowledge to them.
