A Personal Journal
Marcel Jaudian
Notes on design, code, and things worth making.
This is a running record — a place to think in public. I write about the web projects I build, the illustrations I make on the side, and whatever else earns a second look. No algorithm, no noise, just a page that reads the way a good journal should: in order, at your own pace.
New entries land irregularly, the newsletter lands monthly, and everything else lives here permanently, indexed below.

About
Est. 2019
I’m a designer and developer working across web builds and illustration. Most of what I do sits at the intersection of the two — visual systems that hold up in a browser, and code that doesn’t get in the way of the idea.
Before this I spent years building interfaces for other people’s studios. Now most of the work happens here, in the open, one entry at a time. I keep this journal as a record of process as much as output.
