Built this site, by hand
Why I built it from scratch.
I wanted a portfolio that looked like me. So I built it from scratch.
01The look first
A system readout. Dark, monospace, numbers that report on themselves.
02No template, by hand
No template, no page builder. Every detail a decision, not a default.
Every detail on the page is a decision instead of a default.
03Live, not finished
Up, not done. Shipping rough beats a perfect version that never ships.
— built over a weekend in Huntingdon.
