About me:

In 2020, I worked directly with the Bubble team to write their 'Howto build' blog series. Each installment shared written instructions on how to recreate popular products using their nocode tool. Since the beginning of 2021, I've focussed on creating my own video series to teach nocode makers how to get the most out of Bubble's platform.

Note: This video series has no direct affiliation with Bubble themselves. This is something I've created on my own.
