Sebastian,

Thank you for both your kind words and feedback about my projects.

I have not tried freelancing yet, and it is something I definitely want to explore. I guess a little bit of "imposter syndrome" has crept in in terms of putting myself out there, offering my services in an official capacity. But freelancing would definitely push me to level up my skills and, like you mentioned, showcase "real" projects in my portfolio.

As far as using Material UI, I hear you! My first few projects were styled with my limited CSS skills. Someone suggested intergrating something like Bootstrap, Tailwind, etc. and I really liked the Material UI documentation and community support.

Now that I've used Material UI successfully a few times, I have improved my design and styling chops to the point where I can implement my own CSS ideas and skills.

Thank you again for your feedback and I am so grateful to you and everyone who replied with their insight!
