Christina Hemeon

Web Developer

I'm a freelance artist with a passion for creating beautiful and meaningful pieces for clients. But I craved a challenge for my logical side, so I started studying web programming in 2021. Now, instead of showcasing murals, I'm proud of my web applications. Information Technology has become my new home, and I'm eager to continue developing my programming skills.
