Jen Solima

Hi! I’m a Nashville-based developer and designer who loves building things, from coding to crafts. I like being resourceful and finding efficient ways to get things done. I’m organized, curious, and happiest when I’m learning something new or figuring out how systems work.

Experience

My degree is in Graphic Design, and I started out creating websites and branding. Pretty quickly, I realized I was just as interested in how things worked as how they looked. That led me to the Nashville Software School in 2016, where I shifted into software development.

I was awarded Top Developer in the backend portion of the bootcamp, even though I’ve usually leaned toward design and front-end work.

Since then, I’ve spent nearly a decade building and maintaining applications, combining my design background with development skills and a growing interest in application data and system behavior. I enjoy understanding how information flows through systems and using that knowledge to make products clearer, faster, and easier to use.

About

I’m based in Nashville and split my time between creating, learning, and staying active. When I’m not working on design or development projects, I’m usually doing something hands-on. I love arts and crafts, especially linocut printmaking and Cricut projects. I also enjoy experimenting with new mediums.

Outside of creative work, I like to keep moving. I love hiking, ice skating, yoga, and going to the gym.

I like structure and balance. Keeping things organized helps me feel calm and creative. I love learning and making things that make life a little easier or more fun, whether through code, design, or personal projects at home.
