About

Mariangel Mendez

Biography I am a freelance web designer, as well as freelance photographer. I was born and raised in Venezuela, and I always knew that I wanted to be a Web designer, So I am very proud to say that I am a Web Design and Interactive Media student at The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale. Since I remember I've been involved with technology. I admire, how we humans create computers and technology and turn it into a irreplaceable tool in our life. I have long experience in the broadcasting field, I worked in different areas of a radio station. Going from producer to co-presenter and I even got to be part of the IT department for a couple of years. During about 5 years I worked full time in the creation of a need social network site. Which gave me important knowledge and experience about content production, team leadership, management, PR and social media marketing. My interests and hobbies are traveling and embrace new cultures as much as I can, photography (which it turn into a business for me) and Mountain Bike.

Artist’s Statement I started digital art as a hobby, and then i turn it into a career the day i decide to become a web designer. This career path to me is not only a degree or a hobby, is my lifestyle. My work as web designer is based on others needs and wants. I have develop many skills and knowledge to build those needs and wants into websites that satisfies not only my clients but their clients too. I love how and idea or code could be transform into beautiful design,interactive websites, or even nice mobile applications. I enjoy each step from the brainstorming, the creation, to the process and the final result. But mostly I love the infinite possibilities to create. Web design to me is what a canvas is to a painter. Been an artist is not something I decide to be, is something I born with it.
