- i was inspired to create this website/personal blog/portfolio/digital garden or whatever you want to call it by @cybertrinket(chị Ánh), i reached out to her directly, and she was very kind to give me some directions on this as well. thank you!

- sketches and drafts for this website were done on tuttle notebook and figma. i often caught myself wandering, thinking about creating something personal from scratch, even when i was in office working. so here we are!

- i built this website using next.js, tailwind css, a lot of claude, and vercel for deployment on a crappy asus laptop (i still love it, planning to buy a new laptop soon though).

- TWK Lausanne (my first licensed font) and Noto Serif (google font) are my typefaces of choice for this website.
