'Styling' New Website in the Making, Dribbble Meetup, Google Gboard & Huskies.

The month of May was a mix of new. New site, new official member of Dribbble, new programs to use and new skills added to my arsenal. It also included a few firsts. First time at a Dribbble meetup, first time winning a Dribbble contest and first live stream of Google I/O conference. Top level domain name .blog is now a reality, take a look at struggles artists go through and get into Flex. Checkout what May had to bring and usher in June with me with some great knowledge building and experiences.

My first creation and animation with the programs. Check it out.

🎉Thanks to this piece I'm excited to announce I won the Dribbble Meetup Contest and a Sketch App full license.🎉
