<p>This week I talk with <a href="https://gabriellew.ee/">Gabrielle Wee</a>, who's done loads of creative coding work <a href="https://codepen.io/gabriellewee">here on CodePen</a> but like so many other creative people we talk to, her creativity explodes into so many other areas like illustration, photography, drawing, and even gardening. Plus a desire to <a href="https://gabriellewee.medium.com/how-to-create-direction-aware-css-only-hover-effects-2bbf0e13ad5b">share those techniques</a>. Her path has led her to be working at Apple, a dream job.</p> <p>Gabrielle on <a href="https://dribbble.com/gabriellewee/">Dribbble</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/gabriewee">Twitter</a>.</p> <p>Some advice from Gabrielle: doing work that she was personally interested in, rather than pandering to any recent trend, was much more fun and led to more clear success.
