My work
Born in Mexico, I moved to Canada at the age of 5. My journey in Canada began in Montreal, where I resided for a year before relocating to Calgary, which has been my home ever since. From a young age, I was intrigued by design, often dabbling in creating small designs, but it remained a casual interest for a long time.
In late 2021, I enrolled in an online asynchronous course from Paintable.CC that focused on digital art creation using Procreate. Little did I know that this course would ignite a spark within me, leading me down a path I hadn’t considered before.

It's a foundational skill that underpins successful web development.
