Designing a personal lab as a system surface

A personal site can behave less like a profile and more like an instrument panel for active thinking.

Context

Hemisphere is being rebuilt as a current working surface.

Decision

Treat the site as a personal creative engineering lab rather than a profile or label front page.

Reasoning

A personal site can behave less like a profile and more like an instrument panel for active thinking.

Implementation

Keep the surface compact, static, legible, and able to point toward systems that are still forming.

Result

The homepage can stay focused on current practice while older work moves into the archive layer.

Next

Continue shaping the public routes around projects, systems, notes, archive, and contact.
