Intro to me

A day in the life of a web developer/designer

What does a day look like

Most days I start work at 8am. When I'm working on a design project, it involves shaping a new website, both visually and in terms of content.

If I'm working on a development project, I'm usually translating validated designs into functional components. My working day usually ends around 4.30 p.m.

What I do besides my full-time job

After work, I go straight to the gym and there I train for 45m - 1h. Around 6.30pm I get home and make dinner.

If I still have energy around 8pm I work on side-projects, otherwise I watch something on Youtube/Netflix.

During these 3 years I learned extensively how to make innovative, responsive websites & how to optimise them through SEO & other techniques.

In addition, we received an extensive series of UX/UI lessons that can be used on websites as well as (web)apps. I already applied this knowledge to practice during my studies through my student company Present Online.
