ABOUT

I`m Ida. A photographer, problem solver and currently studying front-end development.

The blend of creativity and technology has always been a part of who I am. I first fell in love with photography when I was 14, the moment I got my hands on my first SLR camera. From that point on, I was hooked — capturing the world and making sure everyone looked their best through my lens.

For many years, I worked on a ferry ship, balancing life at sea with my passion. I used my two weeks at home to dive deep into photography, editing, and creating. After 14 years of adventures at sea, I realized it was time for a change — I craved something new, something that would challenge and excite me in the same way photography did. That’s when I found frontend development, and it has been a thrilling journey ever since.

Now, after a year of immersing myself in design, coding, and the frontend community, I’ve found my spark again. The world of web design feels like the perfect playground where creativity and logic meet. With every line of code and every pixel perfected, I feel more alive. I can’t wait to continue honing my skills and dive into even more exciting designs and projects, creating websites and applications that not only look stunning but also solve real-world problems.
