1. Web Development
More specifically, I specialize in responsive web design.
I went to college for Graphic Design, which we always looked at as design that serves a purpose. Designers spend a lot of time thinking about 'scalable' designs and design systems - finding ways to make many different pieces for the same client look like a cohesive set that all match.
Web design is the natural extension of graphic design, and responsive design is like designing a scalable layout and design system within one document that can change sizes!
Imagine trying to create a document like a resume that needs to fit on a piece of paper as small as a business card, but also possibly be displayed the size of a post card, sheet of paper, or even a poster. How do you make use of all that extra space? How should the design adapt, and what kind of adaptations would feel 'wrong' for the layout?
I do a lot of research and experiments with finding new ways to express these layout adaptations, hoping that the web designers of the future will have a much more expressive set of tools to work with when building layouts.
It's a very exciting field to be in, and a very exciting time to be in this field as well!
