A field note from the build

How I built this portfolio.

This is where I planned to show the thinking, choices, experiments, missteps, and small acts of persistence behind The Curious Researcher.

BUT, the build on this page has not finished yet. The honest explanation is that I have been giving the portfolio itself the attention this page is meant to document. Specifically the content. This is a placeholder. Please come back if you are interested in how I did things.

When this page is ready, it will tell the real story: how the visual system took shape, how the Case Studies became a reusable publishing framework, and what I learned while turning years of research work into one coherent illustrated experience.

The awkward, icky, but useful middle of making something.
