“I enjoy projects that combine coding and visual design. They are like puzzles that are challenging and rewarding to solve,” said Harrell. “The Extended Play Bar website was a fun project\u2014not only did I work on an identity design for a brand new bar in Honolulu, but I got to build them a website from scratch as well. It took a while to do the animations, but once I figured it out, it was a great feeling of relief.”<\/p>\n
