I have had an eye for detail my whole life. My mother noticed it before I did. I could not walk past something poorly designed without feeling it - a wrong font, a misaligned element, a color that had no business being there. I did not know what to call it then. I just knew things could look better than they did.

I started learning to code in 2021. My father had just rested. I needed somewhere to put my hands and my mind, and code was patient enough to take them. I was not building toward anything in particular. I was just showing up every day because the alternative was sitting still.

Somewhere in 2022 I found Framer - back when it was mostly a prototyping tool. It was the first time the thing I was learning and the thing I had always felt could exist in the same place. Design stopped being something I did passively, to kill boredom, and started being something I could actually build with.

Then someone paid me for it (¹). I do not remember the exact moment. But I remember what shifted. It stopped feeling like a coping mechanism and started feeling like a direction.

I am still early. I write about what I'm figuring out, I build Framer sites for founders who take design seriously, I make Framer templates, and I am working on something new. This site is where I will keep all of it.

I am taking it seriously now. Later than I should have. But I am here.
