Welcome to my Website!

Hi! My name is Michelle. I'm currently a junior majoring in English with a concentration in film. I'm making this website as part of an assignment for class.Coding was something I was always interested in but never really looked into due to other interests. However, this class is helping me learn more about code and how important it is in our life. This website is a bit simple but I'm still learning how to code so bare with me!

Career Aspirations

I don't have an exact goal for what I want to do in the future. If I had to choose, I think I'd want to be either webtoon artist or a UI/UX designer!

Webtoon Artist

If you don't know what a webtoon is, it's basically a comic book but published on the web. One of the reasons why I want to be a webtoon artist is because I like to draw and create stories.
Whenever I imagine my stories, I always imagine them in pictures and I want to share to the world these pictures.
The image below is an example of some webtoons!

Reading webtoons make me happy so I want to create one in the future and make others happy too! :)

Creative Writing Work

Scriptwriting
(Totally not a shameless plug or anything...)

In Fall 2021, I was apart of the script committee for the Vietnamese Student Association (VSA) at NC State. I worked alongside other members to create a script for their upcoming Culture Night. The show titled, "Struck by Lightning", will be performed on March 5th! Please go see the show if you have time :)

UI/UX Designer

I became interested in UI/UX design in high school after taking some digital media classes. I really enjoyed them and I like the designing aspect as well as organizing it to make it look nice.

Example projects

Evolution of Pepe the Frog

In the fall of 2021, I took a communications class about the history of memes, trolls, and cancel culture. For my final project, I decided to make a website detailing the evolution of how Pepe the Frog went from beloved meme to political hate symbol.
You can check out the website here: Pepe's World!

Website Analysis

Recently, I did a website analysis on a website called Soompi. I learned a lot of what to look for when analyzing websites.

Hobbies

About my cat

My cat is super cute. Her name is Jiji and she is currently 8 years!
She cheers me up whenever I'm sad and stressed out because of school.

Her favorite toy is a purple mouse (which you can see in the left picture). Whenever she's bored, she'll bring the toy over to me and start meowing.
I hope that she can make you happy too!
