I started this site for two main reasons. First, it’s a bit of a full circle moment. As a teenager, I taught myself the basics of web design and Photoshop, building fan sites just for the fun of it. I loved the process of figuring things out on my own, which led me to learn HTML and eventually study graphic design at university. Ironically, going from self-taught to formal study felt like learning everything all over again. I only stuck with the course for a year before moving in a different direction (a story for another time).
Eventually, I drifted away from design altogether. Years passed, and aside from the odd phone photo edit, I barely touched anything creative. But recently, I came across some of my old designs. On a whim and with a bit of nostalgia, I decided to see if I could still build something from scratch. Spoiler: I’d forgotten most of it. Still, I bought this domain, set up a blog, and here we are.
Which brings me to the second reason for starting this site. I’ve always liked the idea of having a blog. I’m not chasing a specific niche; this is just a space for me to write, reflect, and maybe share a few things I’ve been up to. I’ve read more than a few quotes about how writing can be cathartic, and I guess I’m curious to see if that’s true.
Whether this ends up being read by one person or no one at all, I’m glad to have created a space that feels like mine again.
Thanks for stopping by.
