Welcome to my blog!

     My name is Julianna, and I am a student at Hunter College.  I originally thought I wanted to major in computer science, however I realized that this was not the major for me. Starting from a young age, art has always been a huge influence in my life. My mother exposed me to various forms of art, and I just fell in love with it. I started drawing and coloring as a hobby when I was younger, and in high school, art was one of my favorite subjects. Mainly because my teacher was also a phenomenal art teacher. He taught us new ways to look at art from different perspectives, and so I knew I wanted to pursue something in the creative field.

      Aside from drawing and painting, I was also a lover of different types of art such as music, film, theater, etc. I loved watching different movies and listening to a wide spectrum of music. I remember when my family and I took road trips, my older sister would always be blasting songs from her iPod and gradually,I would learn all the lyrics and we would all sing along. Aside from all of this, I was also a huge fan of technology. I was so fascinated by the way it influenced everyone's lives, and all of the different ways it was being used. Although I was interested in digital art, I still was not sure as to what I wanted to do, however after gaining my first internship relating to media, I worked as a graphic designer with a focus in UX/UI design. This job was not only eye-opening, but also very interesting for me. UX/UI design combined two things that I loved together, and I finally realized the path that I wanted to pursue!

     You could say we live in a virtual world today, because of all the technology involved in our lives. Apps can be downloaded with a touch of a button, and help us perform various daily tasks. I would love to be able to create apps and websites that enhance the user experience by providing an appealing, yet simplistic interphase!
