Hello. The name's Donnie. I'm a 20-something-year-old, one of them queer people, and a hobbyist artist trying to get by. I keep my online presence reserved, only ever resurfacing to like and share anything that catches my eye nowadays.
My journey to creating this website started when Carrd was at its peak of popularity. Like many other people, I made my own Carrd to serve as an introduction site for those who were interested in learning more about me. While I enjoyed using it, it felt very limiting and didn't offer much creative freedom. I didn't have much experience in CSS/HTML coding at the time until I began messing around with templates created by other users on Toyhou.se (editing, Frankensteining…you name it). I can say that my coding skills have improved since then, which has given me enough confidence to make a personal online space where I can be me, myself, and I.
I don't use social media as much as I used to. The demand to post and engage regularly for the sake of gaining views, likes, and followers these days just isn't cut out for me. I still use it to some extent, but I don't post very often.
