Amber Venema
BSc CMD HvA • Web Designer • Web Developer • Tech Enthusiast
I'm a Web Designer and Developer who loves figuring things out. Why does this work? Why doesn't that? What happens if I try this instead? I like exploring ideas, experimenting with visuals and interactions, and finding the little details that make an experience feel just right. I enjoy combining design and technology, but I'm just as interested in the process of figuring out what works, testing it, and changing it when it doesn't. In my free time I love video editting and gaming.
