Welcome. I’m Rowan, and this side of the page is where the work lives — the projects I’m proud of and the notes I want to remember.
A little about me
I live in a flat with too many books and one very patient cat. Most mornings I write, most afternoons I sketch layout ideas on whatever paper is nearby, and most evenings I take the long way home so I can watch the light change.
Projects
- Paper Trails A tiny journal for one-line notes and the days they belong to.
- The Long Shelf A reading log that remembers what I thought, not just what I read.
- Small Maps Hand-drawn walks around the neighbourhood, collected in one place.
- Quiet Type A set of type experiments built only from system fonts.
Updates
- September 2026Paper Trails is finally finished
- July 2026A summer of slow redesigns
- May 2026Notes from a month offline
- March 2026Starting Small Maps
How to use this template
This page is split into two equal vertical halves. Flexbox keeps them side by side: the tinted half holds your bio and links, and the light half holds your projects and updates.
- Open index.html in Notepad and type over the words.
- Open style.css to change the two background colours near the top.
- Make the browser window narrow to see the halves stack into one column.
The best way to reach me is by email at hello@example.com. I read everything, even when I am slow to reply.
