Now that I’m a full-time designer, most of my days are either spent planning projects in Asana or working on them on Figma. I hardly ever do any programming nowadays, and I miss the feeling of writing code and bringing websites to life.

I’ve been thinking about small programming projects that I could do in my spare time, and I recently ran into a creative coding course on Frontend Masters. I’ve spent a lot of time making websites and creating user interfaces, but I never thought about using programming to create art. The visual aspect of it is enticing, and I love the fact that it’s can be a creative outlet for me.

I’m early in the course, and right now, I’m going through the Canvas API. We’re on the topic of creating grids at the moment, and I’m excited about the idea of creating digital art that I can actually hang on the wall.

I’m enjoying it so far, and I’m thrilled to continue making art through code. I’ll make an effort to blog as I go through the course!
