about me.

Hi, my name is Melissa!

And I am a Web Designer.

I am a web designer currently in my third year of Computer Engineering at the University of Matanzas, Cuba. I love crafting clean, visually engaging interfaces and believe good design is simple, intentional, and puts the user first.

In my free time, I dip into development building small tools that might be useful to fellow creators along with pixel art, handmade crafts, and baking sweet treats. <3
