A girl’s gotta unwind! ε-(´・`)
During my 5-9, you'll probably find me ...
making things
trying new drinks
tinkering here!
My creative pursuits 🎨
One of my earliest memories is drawing my dad as a bright red tomato at age 4! I've been drawing since I could pick up a pencil ... Take a look at some of my creations below!

Drinking (and documenting) funky fresh beverages
Armed with my opinions and a zest for life, I endeavor to try something new every time I go to the grocery store. Wallet willing, of course.
My never-ending portfolio
View a couple of the iterations — from prototypes to implementations — of my portfolio over the past year. I try to direct creative energy elsewhere, but don't be surprised if this one switches up soon too!
My very first website!
v1.0.0
The first version of my portfolio was live on Squarespace for some time. It served as a placeholder while I began learning Webflow for more creative control.
Bringing in the folders
v2.0.0
This interface was inspired by retro lettering/file management systems, which I've always had a soft spot for. Sadly, I found it a tad difficult in the areas of accessibility and responsiveness.
Now we're getting closer ...
v2.5.0
A modern interpretation of v2.0. I wanted to evoke the aesthetics of journaling in this one, with a paper texture background and annotations scribbled in the margins.
A minor detour
v3.0.0
Trying my hand at big, bold typography. We get a step closer to the minimalism of my current interface, but the dark mode wasn't for me.
The old Play page
v4.0.5
I moved away from this design because its collage-like clutter didn't look cohesive with v4.0's structured design language. Off you go into Figma!
