About Me

Hi, I'm Kayla, a web developer and designer dedicated to crafting beautiful, functional, and user-focused digital experiences. With 2 years of hands-on experience, I'm constantly exploring new and innovative ways to turn my clients' visions into reality.

My journey into coding has been both intensive and rewarding, having completed two web development bootcamps. I'm a self-driven learner with a passion for problem-solving, and I actively engage with my supportive coding communities whenever I need a fresh perspective or guidance.

Whether I&appos;m building a website or developing a digital product, I bring a strong commitment to design excellence and user-centric thinking to every project. &appos;m excited about the opportunity to apply my skills and passion to your next endeavor.
