about Adam Claxon

I’m a designer, maker, and perpetual tinkerer, always chasing the intersection of creativity and problem-solving. My background is in UX and web design. I like things that are well-made, thoughtfully designed, and, ideally, self-hosted.

I love experimenting; sometimes that means refining my homelab, sometimes it means composing ambient music with Raspberry Pis and tape loops.

At the heart of everything I do is a love for craft–whether it’s designing, writing, or making something by hand. More than anything, I want to build a life where my kids can explore, create, and be themselves.

This wasn’t written by AI–I’m just like this.

This Site

This site is a meandering, growing experiment, built largely for fun, as a place to share thoughts, art, and interests–some people plant gardens, I make websites. I like developing in the open, allowing people to see things in their different stages, growing and coalescing, eventually. You’ll certainly find pages that are little more than basic structure, new ideas just beginning to take root, and I think that’s a good thing. Ideally, you’ll make your own site and share the same.
