Introduction

Who I Am

I am a teen nerd from Texas, USA who (somehow) ended up in the weird and wonderful world of personal websites.

I’ve always liked electronics ever since I have been taught how electrical circuits work back in elementary school. I sometimes borrowed electronic kits (mostly Arduino) from the library. (since I'm poor.)

I have gotten interested in design ever since I started to mess around with Google Slides’ templates and realized that I could modify the templates to suit my needs. During the start of 2021, with the the “oversimplified logo” trend and hate of corporate design, I decided to start designing (for other purposes besides presentations) in a “skeuomorphic” style. I initially started with Pixlr, and later switched to Figma since Pixlr was limited and didn't support SVGs well.

I had grown more interested in books and the Old Web when I wanted to spend less time on social media. Later on, Kantraa (a member from a Discord server) introduced me to Neocities and the Old Web when we made a site about Frutiger Aero.
