At first, it was just browsing. No deeper meaning. No “design eye.” Just me, like everyone else, googling random stuff, jumping from site to site. Some sites felt okay. Others felt like scams and made me close the tab in two seconds flat. But either way — I was reacting. And without knowing it, I started noticing. Why this site made me scroll. Why that one made me bounce. Why this tiny animation made me smile, and why that messy layout stressed me out. It wasn’t about aesthetics. It was about feeling something. Clarity. Flow. Confidence.

That’s when it clicked. I didn’t just want to look — I wanted to build. At first, it was the visual side — web design. Trying to understand what makes a layout work. Then it became about control — web development. How far can I push it? Can I make it smoother, smarter, more alive?

I never set out thinking “I want to be a web designer.” But the more tabs I opened, the more I felt like… yeah, I want to craft those experiences — not just consume them. And it’s wild, because all of that started from just… opening one tab after another.
