I'm Simon, a graphic designer, writer, and photographer based in Melbourne, Australia.
This website is inspired by the Web 1.0/ early web 'Geocities' style of personal websites from the late 90's and early 00's. This aesthetic relied on crappy gifs, simple coding, and maximum personalisation—far beyond what's available with today's social media.
I use CodePen to draft my site and I host on GitHub Pages.
About Me
My hobbies include fiction writing (poetry & prose), cinema-going, sketching, swimming laps, coding in HTML/CSS, playing piano (mostly classical and Film/TV soundtracks), reading (especially sci-fi), photography (film, mirrorless, old digicam), collecting lego.
