My journey into web development started back in the days when we’ve used tables as a grid system, stored files on FTP servers and Internet Explorer was THE browser. Despite of the long history, development was always just a hobby. Professionally, I’ve spent the last 15ish years in video and digital marketing. All the way through I was the computer and analytics gal, a fan of organic marketing and concerned about customer experience. Looking back it’s a tad obvious I was in the wrong industry.
I was:
- User Experience Consultant for British charities and small businesses,
- Head of Audience Development at a YouTube Multi-Channel Network managing more than 40 channels from major broadcasters to brands and classic YouTubers,
- Social Media Consultant for both small local businesses and big brands like BMW.
From kittens to code
When I moved to the UK I was delighted to learn that you could work in the non-profit sector and did so as a Website Officer for The Mayhew Animal Home. The position was a mix of digital marketing and web development.
I've always thoroughly enjoyed solving real-life problems of real-life people with digital products.
When my job allowed me to get a taste of UX and Web Development I was immediately taken to it realising it might be time to turn my hobby into my profession.
