Welcome! (On Purpose)

Hello! How are you? I hope you’re well.

Welcome to the first post my brand new website! It’s no Ask Jeeves, but it should do for now.

Fun Fact: I registered for this domain 2 years ago and have been “working on it” since. The amount of stuff that has happened to me since I started paying for this website is unreal. The physical transformation ALONE.

I’m hoping that you didn’t notice that I’m wearing the exact same sweatshirt.

But enough of that! I want this blog post to tell you exactly the utility of this website. What can you expect to find here? What purposes does this website serve?

Well, I’ll list them out for you.

Purpose #1: The Portfolio

This website is a portfolio of sorts, showing off all the creative projects I’m working on/have finished. I have some stuff up there now, but I’m hoping to finish some more stuff soon! Only time will tell though, because I’m currently in a moment of my life where my writing is kind of more of a hobby than it is a career. So, we’ll see!

Right now, I have some OGs that I’m proud of— my 1-act nonsense play Regular Elevator, my college thesis project, Midway the Musical, and an aleatoric existential crisis, we/Die soon. I’ll be adding more soon, and I might cycle out stuff that is too outdated/less professional. But expect this to be an ever-growing gallery of my proudest artistic achievements.

Purpose #2: The Record

Aside from just talking about stuff that I’m proud of, I think this website offers a fun way to go in-depth into my own process and explain my work on my own terms. I’ve always found it awkward to talk about my work without (a) being insane, or (b) talking too much. So I’m hoping to use this blog specifically as an opportunity to really go in-depth and dissect the decisions I’m making.

This is, is some capacity, intended for an audience. I know that when I come across creative stuff that I’m really into, I get super obsessive and really interested in finding out how exactly it was created, what decisions were made along the way. I am always trying to pry wisdom from between the lines of behind the scenes spots.

This is also intended for a version of myself in the future, reading back on why I made certain decisions that I did. Maybe if I leave a paper trail of thoughts and ideas that I engage with over the years, maybe I can learn a little about myself too!

Purpose #3: The Business Card

A website that is already equipped with Purposes #1-2 is a really great way to introduce people into my whole deal. From there, I think it’s only customary to include a cute little bio and a method of contacting me. I really don’ t have a ton to say here— this is a great way to get people to reach out to me for creative/professional ventures.

And that’s that! Thanks for checking out the site, it’s very cool of you to do so.

Have a great rest of your day!
