  • Mythical Affirmations: A Coloring Book filled with Mythical Beings, Serene Scenes and Affirmations

    In July 2023, I published "Mythical Affirmations," a coloring book that exemplifies the fusion of artificial intelligence and human creativity. Over a dedicated two-month period, I utilized AI tools to generate initial images, which I meticulously refined and enhanced using Adobe Photoshop. This process involved careful selection, editing, and curation to ensure each illustration met high artistic standards. The project not only showcases my proficiency in integrating AI technology with traditional design techniques but also highlights my commitment to producing engaging and innovative visual content. The printed coloring book is available on Amazon. The digital version is available here.

About Me

Portrait of Natasha Pierre-Louis

I'm a Front-End Developer, UX Engineer and UX Designer with over 12 years of professional experience. I specialize in designing and building responsive websites, creating prototypes and implementing web analytics. I'm also interested in AI Art and have included some recent pieces in this portfolio.

Having a Bachelors degree in Graphic Design and years of shadowing some of the best UX Designers has taught me to design and code from a place of empathy for both clients and users. I'm also an avid learner and enjoy expanding my skillset with new knowledge. Last but not least, I'm detail-oriented and a problem solver. My motto is "if there's a way, I'll find it".

When I'm not working, you'll find me either spending time with my son Conrad, learning about or discussing the benefits of good nutrition, singing, listening to music and/or discussing various topics such as spirituality, relationships and everything in between.
