Hello there! My name is Paolo Bautista and I am designing a website catered to anyone interested in marijuana cultivation. With the legalization of cannabis for medical and/or recreational purposes in many parts of the world, the demand for information on how to grow high-quality marijuana plants has skyrocketed. Additionally, with the increasing number of people turning to marijuana as an alternative to prescription drugs, there is a growing need for accurate and reliable information on how to cultivate cannabis for medicinal use. Moreover, a website dedicated to growing marijuana can provide an excellent platform for sharing insights, tips, and tricks with others who share the same passion for cannabis cultivation. Overall, designing a website about growing marijuana can help educate and empower individuals to cultivate their own cannabis plants safely, effectively, and responsibly.


Artist Bio

Paolo Bautista is a Filipino American studying Web/Interactive Media Design at the University of Connecticut. Growing up with a family of engineers and medical field workers, he felt destined to choose between the two, but Paolo never went with the “norm”. He was rebellious growing up and always chose the route that seemed to be the opposite of what his parents wanted. This was due to his struggle with his identity as a result of the generational trauma that came with growing up in such an environment. The bulk of his support has always been his older brother as he lived vicariously through Paolo. His brother always tried to pursue his creative side, but was always pushed to do what society seemed was the right decision. Watching Paolo grow up he did not want him to go down the same path; therefore, his brother pushed him out of his comfort zone with his personal life, hobbies, and now DMD.
