Hi there, I'm Kelly, a cat lover navigating the journey of life with a palette full of dreams and a heart brimming with creativity. Approaching the retiring age of 28, I've donned many hats – from gracefully balancing trays as a waitress to leading teams as a catalog-associate team lead. Graduating from the University of North Texas with a Computer Science degree in 2023, I've honed my skills and now aspire to meld my passion for design with my knack for problem-solving, aiming to conquer the realms of front-end programming and UI/UX design.
When I'm not immersed in pixels and codes, you'll find me in the vibrant world of art. Whether I'm sketching, painting, or molding clay into whimsical shapes, I thrive on bringing imagination to life one stroke at a time. Colors both captivate and bewilder me – but isn't that the beauty of art?
In the pursuit of balance, I've embraced the lively sport of pickleball, ensuring my muscles get the workout they deserve. But amidst all this hustle, my heart finds comfort in the company of feline friends, the gentle squeaks of hamsters, and the lush greenery of plants – a sanctuary among life's hustle and bustle.
One day, I dream of curating my own haven for creativity – an arts and crafts store where fellow enthusiasts can find inspiration and unleash their inner artists. Until then, I'll be here, soaking in the joys of life, one colorful adventure at a time.
