Hi, I'm Iva! I'm a web developer living & working in Madison, WI.

This is a personal website; the views expressed here are my own.

What I've been up to lately:

  • Crocheting a scarf out of granny squares.
  • Starting to migrate my notes from Notion to Obsidian, for better security & independence.
  • Playing a lot of Kingdom: New Lands.
  • Finished watching all of Hey Arnold! with my girlfriend. Can't believe I didn't watch it when I was a kid. But then again, I mostly remember thinking that the city life it depicted was very strange/foreign to me. It wasn't relatable enough to my life in rural Texas. Makes sense.

Today I spent some time during lunch to add microblogging capabilities to my website. You know, just for funsies.

This isn't the first personal website I've ever made. Time and time again, I've started a website only to spend more time worrying than writing -- will this be the one I finally let myself get creative with?
