It started with books, honestly.
I grew up in libraries. Reading turned into writing pretty naturally, but what really stuck was everything around the reading. The quiet. The light. The feeling that the space was designed for you to linger.
That’s still the vibe I chase, just on a screen instead of a page. Make it inviting. Make it clear. Make it feel like someone thought about the experience, not just the content.
Working in the design and furniture world sharpened my eye. The audience is visually fluent. The products deserve presence. The difference between fine and beautiful usually comes down to pacing, hierarchy, and restraint.
