This was not the original plan.
I started undergrad on a pre-med path. Then one conversation at a career fair turned me toward pharmacy. Making things happened in a similar way: I would need a tool, realize it did not exist, and start learning how to build it.
That habit became websites, study tools, research projects, games, and a few things too strange for the front page. Some are finished. Some are still changing. They all began with the same thought: this could be better, and I might be able to make it better.
I grew up reading Greek mythology. I loved the figures who could cross limits ordinary people had to live with. Wisconsin forests, country roads, weather, and the outdoors are the real landscape around me. The site comes from both places. It is not a costume for an agency; it is an attempt to show you how all of this feels in my head.
Everything always feels just a little out of reach. Every time I get closer, there is more. Making things is how I keep reaching.
The first version is almost never the last. It makes the idea real enough to test, shows me what I did not understand, and gives me the next thing to chase. That is the thread through everything here.
There is always another room behind the one I just opened. I know I cannot build every idea in my head. I keep trying to make the next one real anyway.
