Hey there, I'm Julia Arrington

I am a front-end web developer. I like to create websites that are user friendly and interesting. This website is a collection of projects that I've made in my free time to improve my development skills.

I am looking for work, so feel free to contact me with any leeds you have.

I am working to improve my design skills and learning more about React.

When I’m not working, I like to play RPGs and read fantasy novels.

UNC Charlotte Master Plan

This website was designed and developed during my time at Page. Our client UNC Charlotte asked us to create a website to share their master plan efforts with the community. I designed this website with inspiration from UNC Charlotte's official website so that branding would feel consistent from the official website to this off shoot.

Dynamic Expense Chart

This is an expense chart component. It displays the amount of money spend in a week as a bar graph. The day when the most money was spent is highlighted as a blue bar. When the user mouses over a bar, the numerical total for that day is displayed over the bar. This page uses a JSON file to get the amount of money spent, so it is dynamic and can easily be updated with new data.
