Melissa Cabral, web developer, designer, nice gal.
Sometime during the last month of my time at school for print design, I was required to take a class in introductory web coding. Suddenly it just clicked. Something about the immediacy of the medium, the rapid rate of change, the apparent simplicity and underlying complexity just grabbed me and hasn't let go. I went back in for a few more rounds and earned my BS in Media Arts with a focus on Web Development.
I'm happily coding away at Axis Media and spreading the joy of code to the students of Platt College in San Diego.
Other hobbies may include, but are not limited to: searching for wacky toys from Japan, home improvement, watching my boyfriend cook, creative traffic maneuvers, steaming the perfect hotdog, photography, and conjuring up my brilliant scheme.
