Hi, I’m Rian — a passionate Web Designer, Web Developer, and Creative Professional with a strong background in building visually engaging and user-friendly websites. With expertise in frontend and backend development, I specialize in creating responsive, modern, and functional digital experiences that bring ideas to life. I have hands-on experience with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, Node.js, and Bootstrap, and I also enjoy working with design tools to ensure that every project balances aesthetics with usability. Beyond coding, I bring a creative eye for UX/UI design, branding, and graphic design, which helps me deliver websites that don’t just work but truly connect with users. My work spans from business websites and portfolios to more complex apps and platforms, always focusing on clean code, optimized performance, and intuitive design. I’m also adaptable and open to collaboration — whether you need a fresh design concept, a fully built site, or improvements to an existing project. When I’m not coding, I explore new trends in media, design, and technology, ensuring my clients always benefit from modern, innovative solutions. Let’s create something meaningful together!
