About Blake Nolan
My Story of Web design starts when I was in high school, I took multiple art classes and fell in love with the artistic world. I decided I enjoyed painting and drawing but they were not what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I also got into Mimo, an app that teaches people how to code in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and SQL. I enjoyed the coding a lot so I did a Udemy Web Development course with Angela Yu. I learned way more about HTML,CSS, and JavaScript and how to connect it to your html. I also learned React, to help make complex functionality on my website. I learned Grid and flex to create layouts on the website as well. I also found a UX/UI design course and was instantly hooked and amazed. The course was User Experience Design Essentials – Adobe XD UI UX Design. I then left high school and went to college at Pikes Peak State College where I took a UX/UI design course taught by Angelina Pecoraro. She taught us Figma so I know XD and Figma. I have taken an illustrator class with Betsy Tuma and a Photoshop class with Jenna Shearn.
