Hello :) this is my digital journal and place to practice website design.
I am a musician that enjoys jazz, funk, pop, and anything electronic.
I grew up with the internet and watched it transform over the years, as everyone else has. Some changes come slowly and some come all at once. It can be difficult to take a step back and realize what the internet has become.
Almost everyone person I've met under the age of 25 has developed an addiction to their phones. Whether it's checking twitter, scrolling on tiktok, watching youtube videos, or texting nonstop, it's become a large problem.
I enjoy the internet and I know that it's not going anywhere. I understand the appeal of viewing content and social media. I just hate that companies are able to go unchecked.
Creators get paid to create flashy content that makes us want to click. Companies track our data and show us exactly what we want to see.
I hope that through web design, I can create a sense of community, similar to the origins of social media. I don't want to meet people and share things with friends with ads and follower-counts in my face all the time.
