Hi there
My name is Alexa Simons, welcome to my portfolio!
Hello, Alexa here and welcome to my portfolio! I am a self taught web designer, developer and front-end engineer!
I've been coding since 2020, when I discovered I had a passion for it. I have experience and interest in web design and development (HTML, CSS & JS), programming, and with tools such as Photoshop and Adobe XD. In my free time I enjoy golfing, roller blading, DIY-ing and jamming out to k-pop, aka the greatest music genre (seriously, don't knock it till you try it).

Projects
Tea Cozy
- December 2020
- By following a design spec sheet, I re-created the HTML and CSS aspects of a web page and used flexbox to ensure the web page was responsive. To view the design spec sheet provided by Codecademy, click here.
The Coding Club
- December 2020
- I designed and created a responsive web page for The Coding Club, a theoretical club I came up with, using HTML and CSS.
Rock, Paper, Scissors Game
- January 2021
- Using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, along with inspiration from multiple projects I have completed on Codecademy, I created an interactive game of rock, paper, scissors. I further developed functions I had previously written, and I utilized resources and guidance from supplemental code on Codecademy’s projects along with my knowledge of the DOM (document object model) to successfully integrate this game into my website. When I would get stuck, I used the console in Chrome Dev Tools to troubleshoot and effectively debug my code to ensure my game was working as expected. This process allowed me to better understand real applications of writing JavaScript code to interact with the DOM and increased my comfortability with writing code to add engagement and improve the user experience of my website. Ultimately, this experience got me more excited for future projects I will complete utilizing HTML, CSS, and JavaScript all together!
