This site is a digital garden — a space for writing, collecting, and thinking in public. It's nonlinear by design. Nothing here is finished.
Built with
Astro — static site framework. Fast, flexible, exactly what a personal site needs.
Netlify — hosting and deployment. The site rebuilds automatically whenever new content is published.
Sanity — the content management system. All writing, collections, and pages are managed from Sanity Studio.
Kit — newsletter and email. Subscribers receive Memory of a Place essays in their inbox.
Typography
Handlee — used for the wordmark and display moments. Handwritten, loose, personal.
Cormorant — used for essay titles, section headers, and body text. Literary, with weight.
Schibsted Grotesk — used for navigation, labels, and supporting text. Clean without being generic.
The garden concept
A digital garden is different from a blog. Posts aren't necessarily chronological. Ideas grow over time. Some things are seedlings — rough, early, still forming. Some things become evergreen — refined and lasting.
