In addition to being a fully Certified Funnel Builder, she is a graphic and web designer that works part-time for Studio A, an agency that specializes in design for the art community. She was hired in 2013 to add web design to the agency and is the primary designer to work on any web or interactive jobs. She is also responsible for making PDFs accessible when this is requested for our print projects that have digital version. But, she will work on print projects in the areas of book design, journal design, exhibition design, and stamp design.
In 2020, she released a short digital workshop to teach HTML and CSS coding to other designers interested in going beyond drag and drop visual builders and template design. She launched the Designers Learn Code YouTube channel and the Daily Code Snippet in 2021. Each video in this web series aims to teach a single coding concept to busy designers who don't have time for a course. She made teaching accessibility a core of this course.

even with ai
designers (and funnul builders) should and can learn code
The evolution of AI is amazing and now there are even more tools to help designers be more productive and push their creative work. However, just because AI can code doesn't mean you don't need to learn code. In fact, it is more important for you to learn so that you know whether the output from AI tools is correct. Unfortunately, bad actors can use AI tools to spread malicious code as they are being used to spread misinformation. And we also know that the AI tools are only as good as the data that is given to them to learn from so that biases can be amplified. By increasing your own knowledge of coding and accessibility you can assess whether the AI output is useful as well as correct.
