Welcome, my name is
SUZANNE GIVNISH;
I enjoy turning complex problems
into simple, beautiful, and intuitive designs.
When I'm not coding, you'll find me walking my dog,
binging every and all true crime docuseries
with my boyfriend,
baking or working out.
Intuitive
Some may call me "sensitive", a word that for some reason or another has a unfavorable connotation to it. This word, sensitive, however embodies who I am - a 'think-on-your-feet-trust-your-gut-feeling' woman. I recognize underlying patterns in individuals and projects which provides me with the ability to make creative, intelligent, and successful decisions in complicated circumstances.
Proactive
On a personal note, I quit drinking 8 years ago. I understood my lack of control and decided, on my own, to take responsibility for my life. This decision, made 8 years ago, has proven that I have the initiative and the responsibility to make things happen.
Life of the Party
Not in the sense of being loud or always wanting the center of attention, but always striving to make those around me feel welcome and happy. I am what some individuals would refer to as a 'people-person.'
Refactored an existing webpage to make it accessible.
