I am a graphic designer retraining for a career as a software developer. I completed a course in web and mobile web development, then followed up with a training programme in application development specialising in Python to consolidate my knowledge in the field.
Why the change of direction? Over my years working as a graphic designer, I came to realise that creating in the abstract left me unsatisfied. To my eyes, art only finds meaning when it serves a concrete purpose. I have always been drawn to computing, which led me to practise programming on and off whenever my career allowed it. It was on those occasions that I understood not only that I preferred programming to design, but also that creating visuals was far more enjoyable when applied to building graphical interfaces. It became obvious that I should steer towards a path that puts both skill sets to work.
