a new year

It's that time of year again, where everyone makes promises to themselves that they are unlikely to keep. Last year, I had said I would do many, many things, one of which was getting this website up and running. Since then, it's sat as a landing page, but that finally changes today.

I still have a ton of work to do (as evidenced by my empty art gallery), but am looking forward to posting some thoughts and keeping everyone up-to-date with what I'm doing in a more playful space.

goals for january 2026

In keeping with tradition, I made some goals that I'm already not sticking to. I hope by putting them out there for everyone to see, that I'll be more motivated. I'm starting off slow in January to ease into better habits and respect the limited time I have between my Master's and work.

I'm already off to a (very) poor start, but there's plenty of time to turn things around 😉 I'll probably make a place on the home page for my goals so that they are easy to keep track of and update sometime soon.
