Hi! I'm Soraida, Designer & Web Developer

I'm a web developer and multimedia artist based out of Minneapolis, Minnesota.

I'm a graduate of Minneapolis College of Art and Design with a BFA in Web and Multimedia Environments. I recently attended Le Wagon Tokyo, a 9-week intensive coding bootcamp to learn HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, JavaScript ES2015, SQL, git, GitHub, Heroku and Ruby on Rails.

In my spare time, I like to sing karaoke, eat good food, and see the world through my thick glasses.

This project was developed in two weeks in a team of four. I handled front-end development and the UI/UX.

Make Me Look Different
(For You)

An interactive painting program built in Processing. The user can "paint" moving .gif images of various women onscreen. The user can alter the skin color, eye color, hair color, make-up, etc of each woman. Unknown to the user, all of the women identify with having mixed racial backgrounds.

This is an exploration of the various stereotypes and perceptions mixed race individuals encounter in the digital space of social media. Our identities are often over-analyzed and questioned by strangers, who wish to paint us with their own pre-conceived notions of what the perfect representitive of that respective identity is in their own minds.
