01
Hi! My name is Jasmine Zayas and I’m a Creative web designer + developer for super fun & loving businesses based in Miami, Florida, USA.
02
Outside work you will often find me taking my dog out on walks to the park or the beach getting our enrichment time in the sun, yes ma'am. (VIEW)
03
But on a typical workday, I am usually cooped up at my desk vibing to a playlist and getting work done with my cafecito con leche.
04
My day usually starts with thanking God for another day of life.
05
Most of the time I am working on creating cute websites and dreaming up other passion projects.
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
06
What are your first memories of the Internet?
It has to be playing computer games at my friend's computer room in her house, we'd play Purble Place HAHAHA i miss it :')
07
What is the best part about the process of building websites for you?
I love the entire process of seeing the vision come to life. All from ideating it, to designing it, and translating it through code. It all makes the experience so gratifying.
08
What is your favorite stretch or pastime in between coding?
Eating for sure. Getting myself a snack and unwinding to a good anime episode before getting back to work. (for my anime lovers! here's some of my recent favs: Apothecary Diaries, A Sign of Affection, Kaiju No. 8)
09
How would you describe your Standout Style in 2-3 words? Vintage/Retro. Playful. Editorial.
10
Which Standout workshops do you find yourself incorporating most often on your website projects?
I use all of the coding techniques, but I would say animations are super fun to see on my website projects.
11
What makes your work standout?
I am an old soul and I love all things of the past. I take inspiration from there a lot, so I would say my work is vintage-inspired and playful. I always aim in creating a beautiful website that's not just functional, but is visually-pleasing to the eye. Your website is your digital storefront and you always want to make that first impression memorable to your site visitors to get them to come back woooo!
12
What are the biggest takeaways from the Standout programs?
The fact that I can say I code and design websites is baffling to me, what started out as a hobby has turned into a passion for me and I'm so grateful for the courses through this program that have empowered me to take huge steps in that direction.
13
What is your dream website project?
It is always a dream to work with a client who is open-minded, patient, and trustworthy without micro-managing. They are kind and amazing people that are on the same wavelength as you. I believe beautiful work can come out of a healthy collaboration like that.

New Money Social Club
I had so much fun working on this project. Eden Connelly Tallerico, the founder of New Money Social Club, came to me with a clear sense of her content and bold brand identity design by Cool Eye Creative. Taking my cues from the brand assets provided, I worked on a hi-fi mockup of the one-page design in Figma first, playing with scale and color while keeping accessibility at the forefront. I used the Split Carousel list workshop to highlight what a membership to New Money Social Club includes
Lazy Afternoon
I got this idea in my head for a cannabis farm / dispensary and started out working on brand identity. Part of the reason I love working in the cannabis industry is because of how fun and free the designs typically are, and with a personal project I had total freedom. I started working in Figma before refining the logo in Illustrator. I curated stock imagery from Pexels and Unsplash and then edited all the images to have an on-brand treatment. The web design was less planned out than my usual process — I designed as I built. I made use of the Top Navigation for Tabs to showcase the four strains and the Sticky/Scrolling Blog Item Layout. I learned a lot while bringing in little touches, including a custom cart icon I wound up getting rid of. I'm working on moving more of the site into fluid engine, but I love how it turned out.
17
What are the biggest takeaways from the Standout programs?
Play more with javascript, write cleaner and lighter code, and hone my client experience.
18
What is your dream website project?
Small businesses and service providers invested in giving back to their communities, especially artists, creative entrepreneurs, and dispensaries.
