My name is Lorenzo, I'm a 3rd year Computer Science major at the University of Central Florida and passionate graphic designer looking to also obtain a major in Digital media or Graphic design. I'm an aspiring front-end developer with a love for creating beautiful, functional digital experiences with my camera when given the opportunity. With expertise in both design and development, I enjoy bringing ideas to life through clean code and intuitive design (and a DSLR lens).
When I'm not coding or designing, you can find me researching tutorials on how to better improve my coding, photography, editing, music creation, auto skills and more. Two quotes I vividly remember and agree with are:
"Hard work beats talent, when talent does not work hard ~ Tim Notke"
"If every porkchop were perfect, we wouldn't have hotdogs. ~ Steven Universe, Rebecca Sugar"
Hope you enjoy my portfolio! Feel free to let me know your thoughts below! 😎
