the rules
an open desk, after hours. near-black surfaces, oxblood paper, and a little scarlet. clear type for work, a quieter serif for writing. the paper details keep it personal.
design decisions
the sculpture changes with your cursor and settles when you leave. it stays still if you prefer reduced motion. the page margin follows your place in an essay. the actual content works without either of them.
work, writing, and about are the front door. earlier corners are still here: now, frames, and taste. unfinished case studies stay drafts until there is something worth reading.

known rough edges
- the work summaries are live; longer case studies are still being written.
- the contact sheet is waiting for film scans.
- now-playing remains blank until scrobbling is configured.
