About Me
I have always been passionate about design. That’s why I majored in Interior Design at college. At college I discovered that I really love to use software in the design process. I used Photoshop, AutoCAD, and SketchUp for various course projects. I became so fascinated with using software in the design process that went on Youtube and online course websites and started watching learning materials to learn about advanced techniques in Photoshops or rendering 2D/3D AutoCAD plans. I received my Bachelor degree in interior design from San Francisco State University back in 2010.
Later, after graduation, I was introduced to the world of web design and web production through a former classmate that was already familiar with my work, skills, and passion. I quickly fell in love with it. I found that can use my creative side to plan web pages, match colors, and find the right size and placement for items.
Since 2011, I have been working as a web producer/designer for this design company called
Websight Design located in Sausalito - California.
What does a Web Producer do:
Web producer generates website content that paints an accurate picture of the company.
As a web producer, I'm responsible for what you see when you open a website, meaning that I ensure that the content of a website is optimized for the user experience. I am generally in charge of arranging, editing, and many times even creating content for websites. So basically I'm in charge of styling the content to create the voice and character of a site.
It is my job to channel that content into a coherent, unique style that is true to the site's brand. Not only I'm making the editorial decisions of what content is in your site's "voice," I'll also be evaluating the aesthetics of how to display that content, then using my tech skills to put it up.
