Welcome to my weird little corner of the internet, inspired by the old web!

(»» This is me teaching yoga at a 3 day long goth festival weekend in country Victoria, Australia!)
I love going to metal gigs, queer nights and goth clubs. I love getting to teach yoga in interesting settings, like the alt rock online fitness studio I work for. I get to hang out in cafes writing resumés for clients, and do stuff my teenage self would have loved - like having a pint in New Zealand’s Hobbiton! 🍺
But most often, you’ll find me curled up somewhere reading fantasy fiction, digging up archived pieces of the old web, hanging out with my wife and friends, or making some bit of art or other.
I think of this website as an ongoing art project. Expect a lot of y2k web nostalgia, bright colours and sparkles!
And while I’ve tried to make this site mobile-friendly, for a real 90s/y2k web experience you’ll want to browse on desktop - you’ll find fun things there that you can’t see on mobile!

🖤 I tried to do emo/scene hair for a hot minute back in 2010. Then I got tired of lugging hair spray around in my bag.
🖤 I have a psychology degree and used to work as a therapist for folks with complex trauma.
🖤 I’m teaching myself how to code properly so I can do more with the internet!
🖤 I want to see an internet where we’re actually creating as well as consuming - making digital worlds of our own - and falling in love with the web again.
