This gives me instant motivation, I was a creative designer because of my special love for designs and aesthetics but as a CS graduate, plus the challenge I faced for 3 years as a designer in a country that give little regard for designers, I finally decided to get into coding and become a Fullstack developer, so far I'm learning and enjoying it, both tough and fun but I've gone too far to back out now.

Wow! You have an awesome story! I think that you will also have a great leg up with so many years of design experience. I have personal friends who made the transition, and they are excellent devs. Having the technical side, plus the creative design eye are going to get you far!
