About me

Who dis?

My name is Hezzie, I'm a UX Designer and Barista (the coffee-making kind) based in South Africa. Pretty new to the online writing world but using this as an opportunity to build in public and start creating content.

I've been making coffee, grinding and tamping those grounds for a little over 10 years now. Coffee is a great passion of mine. Over the last couple of years, I've made more of a push to UX design and some front-end development, I do appreciate quality design. Creating UIs for apps and websites is such a pleasure.

What do I write about?

Pretty much anything. My goal is to talk about my ideas and build my projects in public. This not only helps keep me a little more accountable but actually helps me to further understand what I'm working on and hopefully engage with like-minded folks, scattered around the globe.

Some of the topics I'm interested in:

Ideas and fun projects
Coffee, both as an art and a business
UX/UI Design and Front-End Development
Fitness and running, trail
Traveling, and documenting my journeys
A journal

And anything else my heart desires :P

Just my own little corner of the interwebs
