Behind the Scenes of my Build

Learning isn’t the hardest part believing I'm ready was.

I started with HTML and CSS, then fell in love with what code can do for education.

I design for real people. I always ask: “Would a 10-year-old get this?”

I don’t just build interfaces and programs, I build learning moments.

Some projects take days. Others took restarts.
