Now I just have a cheap Alesis V-Mini using FL studio and Garageband, it took me ages to get used to the limited keys, im used to full size, in range and dimensions, and mostly compose my own trance music, though my latest was my own remix of Rank 1's Airwave, but I also created my own version of No Ordinary Morning by Chicane, very orchestral in the breakdown, all I sampled from that song was the lyrics, and the break beat I sampled from the original Led Zeppelin song, everything else was my own work. Currently working on an LP, not sure how to describe the musical genre, not quite ambient, not quite trance, with a bit of industrial thrown in, not always 4-4 beat at least, post club music, if you will.
And then there is my bonsai, a fairly new hobby, about 5 years in now, lost many trees, learned much, waiting for spring to kick in, remove any wires and wait until they start budding to repot some of them, then once they begin growing I can restart the styling process again, possibly my favourite part of bonsai, creating a miniature tree from pretty much anything!

"I write code for a living. Dunno if that puts me in the creative bracket or not though. Outside of that I (rarely these days) enjoy photography, and (even more rarely) play guitar Wouldn't say I've got a flair for the creative though, and I've absolutely no eye for design whatsoever. " I have strong aesthetic and design preferences, but zero ability on the execution side  | |||

"Yeah, it's always a surprise to me that there's never been a notable increase in the number of women who code. Across about half a dozen jobs over the past 10+ years, I've only worked with I think two female devs? And on my course at uni it was all guys bar one girl. Out of interest what made you change career if you don't mind my asking? | |||
 I dint think I’ll be continuing that hobby.
I’m quite creative with cooking and bread making.
I write a little bit of poetry and the odd story in fantasies section here. A little bit of Manga drawing but thats really not a natural talent ! | |||

I freelanced so was usually balancing multiple demanding clients. I do get to use my skills in my current job though as I’m redesigning our website | |||

I've only done a little bit of freelance work early on in my career, but it was just too much hassle. These days I contract though, which comes with its own drawbacks but I don't think I'm brave enough for a career change | |||

I use to be .net developer and then managed in-house dev when I was younger it was all guys. Now I use vendors in various countries for dev and it’s still all guys ! The only women I know in tech are pm type roles and audit/compliance | |||
