Favorite under-the-hood things that I've added to my site lately:

1. ♿️ An accessibility menu! You can toggle light/dark mode, increase contrast, and reduce transparency! Still a work in progress.
2. 🌠 Native Markdown images that convert to something fancier with @eleventy magic.
3. 💡 An improved lightbox script. Still not a JS expert but slowly getting better.
4. 🌈 More gradients everywhere!

I made my handwriting into a font!

I’ve been using my iPad a lot more lately. For a while, I was mostly using it as an e-reader and notebook, but lately I’ve been playing games from the Kingdom Rush series and other Apple Arcade apps. I also recently discovered that there are a number of apps for creating your own fonts! Years ago, I read an article about a high school student who sent in his college application essay printed in his own handwriting, and making my own font has been on my bucket list ever since.

A sample of my handwriting as a font, including the pangram “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog” in both uppercase and lowercase letters, as well as Latin characters and symbols.

I've changed servers ✨

Never actually did an post so here we go -

I'm a front-end developer currently working on Apple's marketing pages. I like to experiment with CSS and code animations! In my free time, I make jewelry, build keyboards, cuddle with my cat, and keep a couple hundred plants alive and thriving 🪴


This message made me so happy 🥹 It’s nice to know that people still remember my Tumblr themes!

My claim to fame is that once upon a time I made a Tumblr theme that looked just like Facebook and Soulja Boy used it as his theme for a couple of months


We've come so far but I still can't select all unread emails on my phone 😔
