I will create a digital garden that can grow to host my work, and my online presence. I want to position it as that of a creative design leader who loves to play with technology; however, it will start simple.

As I water it, the garden will grow. There will be a public facing part of it, a semi-public/private and a private part of it. I used to go under the name pandji.co, but interested in pandji.info, or something that has that old school vibe to it. pandj.ee or something cool like that? This me shedding my corporate past but still trying to get a corpo gig (or even better something fun and creative that pays corpo money) anyways I digress

examples:

• oh-hi.info - interesting interaction to scroll and then show content
• chia.design - COLOR!
• ⭐️ https://dantaeyoung.com - I love the way the copy is written, and the changing dynamic background gradient
• simone.computer - the url is so good, I like the CRT<>LED mode
• trpchai.net - grid of stuff that expands as you hover over it; how is this done? Js?
• https://yone.house - I love the visitor feeling archive; and how it feels like a new way of doing digital guestbook
• https://mindyseu.com - the barebones frame of this, makes the photos pop; might be good for a portfolio
• https://brycewilner.com - type is so cool
• https://home.elliott.computer - I like the log nature of this page
