Drawing of myself

Hi, I'm Jessy!

A
learning to become a web developer.

Down

My Path

I have been working as a medical assistant for six years. This had a great impact on my personal growth, but I always felt like something was missing. I realized I really want to be part of a team of creatives working on projects.

In April 2024 the first step of my journey was to enroll in Google's UX Design professional certificate program to learn the basics of UI/UX Design.
While working on different parts of the program, I kept asking myself how design choices were communicated to developers and if what I designed was even feasible and could be implemented at all.

My next step was to learn the basics of coding with the "SheCodes Basics" workshop.
I recently enrolled in "Web Design for Everybody: Basics of Web Development & Coding" by the University of Michigan on coursera to deepen my knowledge.

Since learning new things is something I am passionate about, I decided to take it a step further and study, so in September 2024 I am starting a full-time undergraduate degree program in Computer Science and Media Applications.

Me as a Person

I am a 27-year-old medical assistant having experience in working with and for hundreds of different people and personalities. I enjoy talking to other's and have always been very talkative.

My biggest passion is to learn new things and I regularly take up new hobbies, but one constant has always been my love for plants, art, gaming and reading. The self-portrait doodle in the beginning was done by me!

Looking at other people's art inspires me a lot in creating my own, as well as reading and discovering new genres and authors or trying out new games. When I'm not doing any of those things, I am busy caring for my regularly growing collection of plants.

User Experience Design

The Google Course taught me how to complete the design process from start to finish by empathizing with users and conducting research. I learned how to define and ideate as well as wireframing and prototyping in Figma.

Basic Coding Skills

The workshop "Introduction to coding" by SheCodes taught me the basics of HTML, CSS and JavaScript and I'm currently enrolled in "Web Design for Everybody: Basics of Web Development & Coding" by the University of Michigan on Coursera to learn even more.
