About

This place is a manifestation of my creative brain, treated as a dumping ground for creative activities. Like me, it will always be a work in progress: messy, multi-themed, and only half finished.

The vintage ads in this newspaper take you to pages I've made.

June 2025 Issue

Happy Pride! This month I feel energetic for change and properly representing myself. Perhaps as a side effect of that, I updated the website homepage to something more interesting and better aligned with my vision for this page.

I've had a static homepage for over a year and although it makes things much easier to manage overall, it feels a little boring and out of the spirit of using this place as a playground.

Offline I've been working on some new sites and redesigning existing ones for better accessibility and mobile responsiveness. Although I want to stay true to the nostalgia of creating sites in the late 90s, I'd also like to make web mazes that anyone can enjoy.

I suppose this will always be a journey! Anyway, hope your June is fantastic and that you, too, find ways to represent yourself better.
