§ 01 / about
who am i,
why am i here,
what's the deal

hi, i'm nolan.

i just graduated from bu, and i'm about to start working as a software engineer! (grateful)

i enjoy slow gongfu tea sessions particularly dancong oolongs. i try to read more than i am — lately focusing on fiction. i play guitar to keep my hands busy when i'm not at a keyboard, and i'm trying to run a half-marathon one day!

this site isn't a pitch. more of a showcase on the things i like, the books on my desk, the projects i make for myself, and the photos i take on the way home.

partake in literature

reading is how i slow down. lately leaning russian — dostoevsky, tolstoy. always a notebook nearby for lines that hit.

dabble in strings

guitar since high school. fingerstyle, jazz chords, the occasional cover. keeps the other half of my brain alive.

see through a lens

street, friends, light at golden hour. the discipline of looking — same muscle as design, different output.
