    Growth

    Confession time. I really don’t like doing social media marketing. It’s always at the bottom of my to-do list, and I often do every possible other task first before starting.

    Development & Code

    Did you know this website is static and hosted for free? I build this site locally with WordPress, and use a static site generator to push new versions of the site up to Netlify.

    Design

    Design reminds me a little of writing papers when I was in school. I open a new Sketch/Illustrator/InDesign document, and stare at the blank white screen, thinking, “Well, now what?” It reminds me of when I open a blank Word document to start writing, and have no idea where to start. For me, design feels…
