A small home on the internet
A personal website doesn't need to begin with a perfect biography, a decade of writing, or a complete catalogue of work. It only needs a reason to exist and enough structure to accept the next thing.
This first version is intentionally quiet: a name, a few honest lines, two notes, one project. The empty space isn't a missing feature. It's room to grow.
Small is maintainable
Fewer moving parts make a site easier to publish, easier to change, and harder to abandon. It can become more expressive later without becoming heavier now.
A useful constraint
If something can't earn a place on a simple page, more decoration probably won't save it. Clarity first; everything else can follow.
