Ever since my college days, I have always dreamed of becoming a web designer, and I consider it to be the perfect job for me.

 

I chose to pursue a career as a web designer for several reasons. First and foremost, creativity runs in my blood, and I couldn’t resist joining a job that required artistic skills. Additionally, I have a keen interest in designing web pages, brochures, magazines, and various other materials in my day-to-day life.
