Warning
Still working on it — things may not work as expected. Probably best viewed in desktop at the moment.
Hello, welcome. This is my nook of the internet where I casually write about design, technology, finding my own pace, and the existential dread of trying to find joy in late-stage capitalism. This is meant to be a safe space for me to learn and share openly, without the pressure of platforms and algorithms.
Spending time in tech, I learned that some of my best growth and best time spent for me happens when I give myself permission to explore and experiment. This garden, or journal, or blog, or whatever, is my way of doing that—letting ideas grow (or die) naturally, tending to them when inspiration strikes, and sharing my process along the way.
Some notes are unfinished thoughts, others have had time to develop, and a few might just be all over the place. I try to let things sit unfinished; the joy is in watching these ideas grow and connect over time.
This garden runs on Quartz and is part of my return to the small web — back when the internet felt more like a neighbourhood of interesting spaces than a feed of endless content.
Please browse with patience.
What you’ll find
- Notes on design, development, and creative technology
- My journey through freelance and building a creative practice
- Project experiments and documentation
- Community building with Recess
- Occasional rambles about plants (both digital and real ones)
