Hi there! I'm Valeria, a Colombian-American sophomore currently studying Digital Media at the University of Central Florida with a minor in Marketing. I first got interested in web design when I realized I can combine my creativity with learning new coding skills. I have knowledge in HTML and CSS, and I'm exploring new tools and frameworks to improve my skills. In my free time, I enjoy gaming, playing pickleball, or crafting. I’m always seeking new ways to express my creativity and I'm excited to continue learning, growing, and applying my skills in web design, as well as leveraging my marketing knowledge to create more impactful digital experiences.
