Design

The aesthetic is a scrapbook — physical, handmade, imperfect on purpose. Dark background with paper cards. Slight card rotations. Tape strips. Grain overlay. Handwritten annotations in Caveat.

Designed and built by me. No templates. No UI frameworks. The 404 is a Dark Souls death screen. The 500 is a burning film reel. Because why not.
