Website Moodboard

Hello! A very warm welcome to everyone who wandered into Matcha Diaries :)
Hope everyone's doing well. If you're wondering how I"ve been... Well, I've been struggling to code this website so it looks the way I want it to look... for hours... and yes it's 1am...

Anyways, why did I create this website? Well, I took this summer subject for uni where we create a website and my initial thought was to create a portfolio for architecture, (which may have been the most reasonable choice) but I wanted to create something more fun... I wanted my website to be whimsical and playful with RPG-like features (regretting this whole concept because WHY IS IT SO HARD) and I thought it would go really well with a content creation porfolio... so that's why I created the Matcha Diaries! Hope you're enjoying it~

A little rant about creating this website...

Behind the Scenes photo of my website creation

You see, when I was designing this website and creating the visionboard, stylescape, and all the "fun stuff" I thought I was doing really good and I was so ambitious and motivated. But now that I'm midway through coding this.. I'M STRESSED.

LIKE VERY STRESSED.

Now that I think of it, I can't believe how mid-February me was like, "surely I can code a website with all these RPG-like, interactive features and include animations all in the span of a few weeks despite not knowing how to code!!"

Yes. Haha Mai- very funny.

Well- since this is published, it probably means I finished coding. And I probably spent HOURS and HOURS adjusting the smallest thing that no one will probably care about or even realise.

To be a little more optimistic, it also probably means I'm proud of it!
