this is the part of my site where i keep everything i'm making and thinking about — projects i've brought to life, notes I'm taking in public, and ideas i haven't figured out yet.
*please note, i am very bad at remember to take pictures of the process. when i am working on a project, i tend to lock in when im in a flow state.
i'm not an expert, but i worked with these tools before.
