How I work
Plain language. Short paragraphs. Behind the camera. I write the questions, shape the edit, and build the systems. In the recruitment video I made at HTS New England, leadership is on camera and I am not. That is by preference.
This site works the same way. It was designed and hand-built in code, with no frameworks and no templates, because the emails in the case studies are built the same way. If you are reading it in the dark theme, that is the default; the toggle in the corner remembers your choice.
