“I'm trying to figure out if I love art enough to be poor.”
Hello, I'm Elle, a 28-year-old currently living in Manchester and working as a Junior Front-End Programmer at bet365. My path to this role has been anything but straightforward, allowing me to experience various careers and environments that ultimately revealed my passion for design, appreciation for practicality, and the joy of creating products that people truly love.
Throughout my life, I found joy in creating visually appealing and functional designs, whether it was through drawing or experimenting with digital tools, leading me down the path of digital art, design and animation. I soon realised programming seamlessly integrated all my interests, prompting me to delve into online courses such as SheCodes and Codecademy, providing me with a strong foundation and understanding of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I managed to acquire my first programming role at bet365, where I have gained invaluable hands-on experience, considerably enhancing my technical skills and knowledge of all things front-end.
