Hi! My name is Sonia Espada. I am a multi-skilled designer specialized in front-end development and a fervent illustrator in my spare time. I´m passionate about stories and everything related to science fiction themes and new technologies.
Throughout my career, I've gathered important insights into different worlds. You can see some of my works that are representative of these categories listed below.

I grew up in the small city of Huelva (Spain). I graduated in Fine Arts in Granada and moved to Madrid in 2009 to get my master´s degree in Creation Web Design.
I’ve always embraced my artistic side and never thought I would work in programming and web design, but then, I discovered a background fully of innovative concepts by using new languages... and I love to keep doing it at present!
First, have a definite, clear practical ideal; a goal, an objective. Second, have the necessary means to achieve your ends; wisdom, money, materials, and methods. Third, adjust all your means to that end. (Aristotle)
Setting concrete goals for a project makes way for successful outcomes. These are my main objectives:
A few days ago, while I was collecting information to document a list of CSS frameworks, I came across one in particular that caught my attention for its graphic identity, closely related to my interests.
This framework is entirely built on SASS and it focuses on building sites with clean and optimized code. It looks very nice and easy to use.
All documentation is available on GitHub.
LumX is the first responsive front-end framework based on AngularJS & Google Material Design specifications. LumX provides you a faster and easier way to create applications in pixel perfect.
It combines the latest front-end technologies (AngularJS and SASS preprocessor under Google Material Design guidelines), so it´s supossed that it only will work fine with IE10+.
LumX was just released in November 2014 so it´s too early that we could see some application made with this framework. Now it´s the best moment for try it!

To be a full-stack web designer and developer, I was sure that it´s necessary to know everything about the HTML5 scope of applicabilities. Thus, I became interested in the course of HTML5 Mobile Applicattions Development, which is focused in programming with jQuery Mobile and HTML5. The goal of this course was to have an approach to the hybrid mobile apps development created with PhoneGap or Sencha Touch; my next stop in web technologies :).
After almost four unforgettable years being in my first job as web designer (a lot of thanks and regards to all my workmates in Cystelcom), I was looking for a position where my skills and experience matched better. I was interested in a new challenge to prove myself and getting an opportunity to enhance different capacities that I had then. So this chance came from the Quality Objects company. Thanks for trusting in my abilities, I´ll demonstrate my worth.
Don´t hesitate to drop me an email if you have any questions or tell me about any project. I will try to answer you asap!... in case I´m in the clouds.
