## Summary
- A portfolio as an index, not a landing page.
## Body

I didn't want the site to open like a pitch deck.

The outline gives the work a quieter structure: today, work, notes, contact. Each row has a state. Each state has a small behavior. The interface becomes less about decoration and more about how the work is organized.

That feels closer to how I want to be read: not as someone who only makes screens, but as someone who builds systems people can move through.
