had some time on my hands and thought I'd launch a builder's canvas 🎨

v1 was made early in my second year, mostly to check the box. but lately I've been inspired by the incredible sites made by people like Bao, Rachel & Yip, so I wanted to make something more me.

it's still a WIP (and looks best on desktop) but I'm hoping to add more delightful features this summer. let me know if you have any ideas!

the motif *[ a builder’s canvas ]* draws from figma, notion, photoshop, linear, slack & browsers; tools I spend my days in. because every builder needs a canvas.
