Combining Creativity with Technology.
Hello, I’m Jenny Nelson—a fashion professional with a passion for technology. From utilizing cutting-edge software in my design work to delving into Python, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS courses, I seamlessly blend design and technology. My project portfolio includes collaborative Python app development and building websites to showcase my web development skills. What sets me apart is my ability to creatively and clearly communicate products through the fusion of design and technology. Feel free to explore my work and projects!

Coding
#Python
#Example of using strings, f strings and input functions.
age = input("What is your age?")
print(f"Hello, I am {age} years old")I start coding as I wanted to use technology to creatively build programmes. In 2023 I undertook a 12 week Python Software Development bootcamp with HyperionDev where I learnt the fundamentals of Python.
Recently, I have expanded my knowledge as I have an interest in web development. I am developing my skills currently with Javascript and Python at Code First Girls. I am also learning HTML and CSS, helping me build this website and start to build web apps.

Having fun with “Processing” using Python. Click here to see how I made this rainbow graphic:
#set background colour
size(600,300)
background('#050002')
noStroke()
#make a list for colours
colour_list = [ '#050002', '#ED6779', '#F7C75F', '#F5F28F', '#A5E3A7', '#A5EDEB', '#D0C0EA', '#FAB6F9', '#050002']
#set position for centre of circle
x_pos_circ= 300
y_pos_circ=300
#set initial size for circle
circle_size= 550
#make function for making rainbow, first add fill(colour)
#iterates through colour list and reduces size each time by 50
def make_rainbow(colour,size):
fill(colour)
circle(x_pos_circ,y_pos_circ, size)
for col in colour_list:
make_rainbow(col, circle_size)
circle_size -=50
save("new_rainbow.jpeg");

Evergreen GP Surgery Website
As part of my Digital Skills & IT Skills Level 2 Project, I created a web-page using Wix.
Set a client brief, I created a page that was colourful and in-line with healthcare branding principles, creating trust with the user and utilising a familiar style interface to allow accessibility.
I dove into research for healthcare branding and found evidence to support my decision in a Blue colour interface as it has been shown to be a less stressful colour compared to other colours such as orange.
It was a collaborative project and my role was to collate and showcase information clearly, incorporating data through visuals and text.
I carefully built the website architecture making sure navigation was simple and relevant information was contained in groups. I used visual cues such as medical imagery to highlight the subject of the page allowing for non-native speakers to easily identify which area they needed.
Research, Planning and Further Development:
1. Statistics
Utilising open-source data and calling from an API we can show and analyse the latest statistics showing them in an easy to read graphic output.
2. Guidance
This section of the app provides up-to-date guidance.
Information will be displayed clearly using graphics, interactive page design and information flows such as click through flowchart to make for easy comprehension.
3. Advice
Advice section utilises illustrational videos, with the graphic style matching the app interface for cohesion.
4. Co-V AI Assistant
Utilising AI Technology within the app such as for customer service, streamlining vaccination bookings will allow us to reduce pressure on the GP surgery and reduce calls for daily questions.
Additionally, this can be expanded further to within the GP surgery and can be used to offer basic medical advice for patients and then allow patients to book GP appointments directly.
Technology:
The app would utilise React Frameworks allowing for greater flexibility and integration of other technologies.
We can utilise open-source data with GitHub Rest API.
Using JavaScript language gives us versatility in development and build a cross-platform app. It is highly compatible with different browsers and offers fast development speed.
Green Hub Project | January 2024
As part of the Digital Edge Programme with Catch-22 and Microsoft I worked in a team on a project for an innovative app design.We decided to go with a Green Lifestyle App named: Green Hub. I had a great time working with the team in coming up with ideas and the design for the app, I was in charge of the design of the app and presentation and proactively worked with others to organise each team members contribution.We produced a 10 minute presentation and website, as well as an app interface that I designed with Figma.
Tommy Zhong Website Shop
Using Shopify and linking to main website, I designed the user interface for the brand TOMMY ZHONG.
The brand imagery is modern, feminine and print focused. I decided on a clean minimal interface that used the brands imagery and prints to portray the brand image clearly.
It needed to be simple and easy to use, and since there wasn’t a large amount of products I organised the menu to navigate to options: Collections or All Products.
I also set up a Size Chart page to help customers see how our sizes correspond to international sizes.
The page was also linked to instagram shopping and so products could be tagged through images to buy.
Testing App Building with Swift
16.02.2024
Trying out swift for the first time, followed a tutorial on YouTube to build a Task App.
Not quite yet got to grips with Syntax of Swift, similarities with Python and JavaScript which I’m learning.
Satisfying to interact with UI while building will try more projects with this program.
Possibly trying to build a simple fashion PLM interface.
