Hello world! My name is Marcela Estrada. Just your local illustrator who also really loves to code!

Biography

I have a B.S. in Computer Science and Art/Graphic Design, and an A.A in Art/Studio Arts. In the past I've worn many hats. Among them are programming tutor, graphic designer, bilingual interviewer, translator, etc. My goal in the future is to work with a group of passionate developers/creatives/artists to make something beautiful and inspirational. When I'm not developing or designing for work, I like to create art for myself, tinker with other technologies, read web comics, watch Netflix, or hang out with my family and friends.
