Background

About Dennis N.

From a young age, I have always possessed a playful nature. Whether it was splashing in the rain, skidding across muddy paths, maneuvering past opponents in football, riding my little blue BMX through traffic, or daring myself with adrenaline-inducing stunts, I embraced every opportunity for excitement! However, amidst all these exhilarating endeavors, there was one passion that held my heart above all else: drawing. My artistic abilities were so remarkable that my fellow classmates would hire me to do their science illustrations for them. Nurturing this talent throughout my formative years, I carried it with me into high school, never forsaking my playful spirit.>>FF Undergraduate studies: I began to wonder how I could transform my love for art into a fulfilling career. Although coding didn't particularly captivate my interest, I excelled at it out of necessity. Coding served as both a requirement for my academic success and a fallback plan for a potential career. I distinctly remember not enjoying PhP, but had an unwavering fondness for HTML and CSS because my focus was naturally drawn to the visual appeal of interfaces. Tools such as Photoshop, Illustrator, and Corel Draw became my trusted companions, enabling me to master raster and vector-based design techniques.>>FF Postgraduate studies: my focus became to learn better design. While most of my design skills were self-taught, I eagerly enrolled in a User Experience Design course offered on campus, which marked the pivotal moment when my journey into UI/UX began. I became fascinated with the application of design in solving complex user problems and swiftly acquainted myself with the principles of design thinking. Presently, I am still honing my design prowess by actively keeping abreast of the latest trends and tools. I seamlessly navigate between design tools like the Adobe Suite, Figma, Balsamiq, etc for wire-framing, UI, prototyping, graphic design, animations, print design and photo manipulation. I am glad that I found a career in design, notwithstanding the occasional creative blocks and deadline anxieties. I am passionate about applying design to create novel, elegant and practical solutions. Besides all that, here are two intriguing facts about me: I enjoy shooting pool. I am an avid car enthusiast. I relish the exhilaration of speed.
