It’s my pink labyrinthian playground on the web

I’ve had some version of a personal website since about 2010. I didn’t do much with it at that point, but I do know that I updated my web presence way back in 2015 to reflect what was the beginning seed of my current web presence. On it, I described myself in 10 ideas of 20 words. That idea is still part of my homepage today, only the 2015 version of my personal website was far more drab by comparison to the blindingly pink presence you’re witnessing now.

In 2019, I came up with a way to effectively encompass my work and life on the web, and I started doodling those concepts out in some documents that I returned to later. It wasn’t until one weekend in January of 2021, though, that I decided to make a run for it and reorganize my work and thoughts.

Over the course of the spare time I had that weekend, I did the best I could to get something quick and dirty up using Squarespace. To start making even faster progress on the project, I made it about the habit, not the output. And that mindset allowed me to make solid steps forward, eventually leading to what it is you’re seeing here today. I created something like 80 pages in a matter of 8 weeks. Not shabby.

Of course, I have a ton more ideas that I want to lay down on this website—and I plan to do so. But for now, I’m just slowly chipping away. In fact, developing a website that encompasses a person’s uniqueness has even become one of my recommended life hacks. It’s kind of like a journal on the web.

While I would love to make even more of the design and do something more custom long-term, for now, it’s more about the content and thinking I’m developing than it is the aesthetic. As much as I hope it adds value to others, more than anything else, this is my pet project that I’m having an absolute blast building. We’ll see where it goes.
