Asad Richardson's Email

As a recent participant of NYIT's Study Abroad program where I spent about half a year in Nanjing, China, I've since planned every next move I made to helping US-international relationships via school clubs/organizations, businesses, and entreprenurial work. As a person who absolutely loves art and web development/design, studying abroad has completely opened and new world to me. Now, more than ever, I am motivated and passionate about mastering my skills using the adobe suites and a wide array of other tools in order to help fulfil my desires in helping other people and said relationships. Currently I'm taking these courses on Udemy to better myself and provide ample practice for my free time: User Experience Design Fundementals - Joe Natoli Mobile App Design from Scratch: Design Principles, and UX - Maxime Cormier How to Create an Awesome Demo Video for Your Business - Miguel Hernandez The Complete Web Developer Course - Build 14 Websites - Rob Percival Learn JavaScript and JQuery from Scratch - Eduonix Learning Solutions MySQL Database for Beginners - Bucky Roberts Please reach out to me if you have any questions about study abroad, web development, or if you have any available opportunities as I am looking for an internship or entry-level position in the New York or California area. Thanks!
