Colophon

Design. The site uses Taos, my personal design system which began as a series of doodles inspired by early-90s software branding which itself was inspired by southwestern visual motifs. It is named Taos after one of my favorite places on earth. The colors, type scale and spacing live in one token file, and every component reads from it. The layouts and the title cards were drawn in Figma.

Type. DM Sans and DM Mono, by Colophon Foundry, served from this site. Atkinson Hyperlegible, from the Braille Institute, is available in Display settings.

Background. The moving background is the icon doodles I originally drew, vectorized and then extruded into 3D with Three.js. It loads after the page does, and you can pause it or turn it off. Glyph lab tells that story.

Build. Static pages made with Astro and hosted on Cloudflare. No cookies, no ad trackers, and analytics that don’t follow you between sites.

Accessibility. Semantic HTML, checked contrast, visible focus and respect for your motion settings. Each release is scanned with axe and tested at phone size on a slowed-down connection. Display settings is a courtesy on top of that, not a substitute for it.

Made with. I designed and built this site hands-on with Claude Code. I made the decisions and reviewed and approved the copy; the agent wrote code, drafted copy and checked my work against the record.

Sources. Every claim about my work traces to real documents saved over the years of my career. How that works is its own article: One Record.
