I'm Ashly, a writer and compulsive maker of things in Portland, Oregon. I love strange little websites, expressive typography, modular systems, and tools whose purpose takes a while to explain. Finding a font I love is sometimes enough reason to start a project. I make Obsidian plugins, themes, interactive stories, and assorted internet objects. I get especially absorbed in figuring out how something could work, what its pieces should be, and what else those pieces could become. My supply of ideas vastly exceeds my available attention. I miss an internet full of peculiar personal places, unfinished experiments, and people making things because they couldn't help themselves. I still go looking for it. Sometimes I try to contribute a little. Usually collecting possibilities, following a rabbit hole, or singing. My dog Loki is the star I orbit.
