Hello! My name is Leah Richerson, and I’m currently studying at DePaul University, where I’m enrolled in the Forge class—a hands-on, project-driven design course. Originally from Olathe, Kansas, a suburb of Kansas City, I’ve come to Chicago eager to expand my horizons and dive into the world of design and coding. Although I'm new to coding, I’m passionate about learning how to bring ideas to life through technology. I’m excited to develop my skills in Python, Javascript, and beyond, with the goal of creating functional and aesthetically pleasing digital experiences. When I’m not studying or working on projects, I enjoy exploring the city, connecting with like-minded individuals, and constantly challenging myself to grow. I look forward to the opportunities ahead and the chance to contribute to impactful work.
