About

Hello, World! My name is Nick Slywka, and I'm a xx year old aspiring web developer & graphic designer from Burlington, Ontario, Canada. I have a love for all things computers, especially when it comes to design. I discovered my passion for graphic design during the COVID-19 pandemic, when I stumbled across a typography design on Instagram. At the time I knew nothing about graphic design or web development, but knew I wanted to start creating.

I design and develop responsive, performance-focused websites with a strong emphasis on WCAG accessibility, image optimization, SEO, and Lighthouse performance. My work prioritizes clean semantic HTML and fast-loading, accessible experiences across all devices.

Development

I design and develop on a custom-built PC using Windows. My workflow, testing, and tools are strictly based in the Windows ecosystem.
