Introductions

Howdy, and welcome to my blog! My name is L’Oreal, and I’m a student at Gwinnett Technical. I’m pursing a degree in web design and development, but my goal is to get into UX/UI Design.

So far my favorite courses during my program were Photoshop and Web Development. Both classes gave me the opportunity to be creative, and introduced me to the world of UX, which I originally knew nothing about.

In fact, when I was taking Web Development, we had to create an e-commerce website. Since I come from a rich Caribbean background, I chose to create a site that was all about freshly prepared Jamaican meals delivered straight to your door. My professor really enjoyed the final project – in fact she thought it belonged to an actual company! Based on my personality and presentation of the site, she suggested that I look into UX design. After doing the research I thought, this is more so where I belong for sure. Thus, my journey begins.

Feel free to check out the site. http://lorealmoore.info/1510/final/index.html

I need to create a portfolio for some personal projects that I have in mind, so I’m looking forward to this class for the purpose of creating one that I can use in UX.
