About me

I'm Shoko, based in Norway. While attending an IT vocational school, I've been teaching myself UI/UX, web design, and development. I care about keeping the user in mind and crafting thoughtful, detail-driven interfaces. I love making things in all forms, and every day I'm working to better bring the ideas in my head to life.

Objective

Where I'm headed

Near-term Focus

  • Design and build static websites solo, from concept to code
  • Grow into frontend development, beyond design, into real programming

Bringing the ideas that come to mind to life with my own hands, that's my goal. Technology keeps evolving and there's always so much to learn, but I love every bit of it. Growth is what drives me most, and I've walked this path excited about what tomorrow will bring. I want to create things through design and development that are both useful and kind, things that make someone's everyday life a little easier. Someday I'd love to build apps, games, anything really. That's the dream.
