About KLPGO
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
Matthew 11:28 has been a recent verse on my heart. I don't claim to be a perfect human being or an elite designer or developer. Instead, I am thankful and at peace in knowing that I can place my cares at His feet.
My hope is that you will find inspiration:
- to Do
- to Build
- to Create
Background
Earning my Bachelor's degree in Studio Arts from the University of Pittsburgh was a moment of deep gratitude. I have always been into creative arts ever since I was a little boy—a passion I believe that was passed down to me from my family. Graphic Designing, when done right, is like a new nature that binds to an artist. I take great pride in the journey, knowing that hard work pays off when you study, practice, and try again.
During my senior year of college, I picked up my first web development book. Since then, I have been on a constant journey to discover and rediscover the intersection of UI Development and Design.
The Mindset:
- Know the features that work
- Use the current frameworks at your disposal
- Don't wait for a better server—build it now.
- Trust in God for the rest
Today
I'm intentionally launching KLPGO to help bridge the gap between technical UI engineering and creative design along with a splash of faith.
I currently serve at the National FFA headquarters in Indianapolis, Indiana. I couldn't ask to be part of a more courageous and wonderful group of professionals who have given me every opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.
