about
I’ve been making things on the web since personal websites were mostly a name, a few links,
and whatever you could fit into an index.html. I still like that idea.
My curiosity runs from music and local culture to AI, virtual reality, and web3. I put it to work through online community building, social media commentary, and visual media, with a focus on supporting the people and places around me.
Minimal interface. Maximum curiosity. Technology should make people more capable, not make everything feel like enterprise software.
