About Me
Katsuyuki Ikeda
Graphic Designer / Full-Stack Developer
As a big fan of Japanese hip-hop, I longed to use my imagination to create things.
When I started living in Canada in 2018, I got a little exposure to computer science at college and became interested in design and development.
After completing BCIT's Graphic Design Associate Certificate Program, I am currently enrolled in the New Media Design and Web Development program to expand my skill set and deepen my knowledge of full-stack development.
