<p>Hey, I'm Mewizard! I'm a programmer and artist from the Midwest.
I dream of a more colorful, kind, and authentic world.

<p>I've always been around the internet, but I wasn't passionate about web development until 2023. I learned to code after getting so frustrated with Etsy, that
I tried to build my own online shop. I fell in love with the problem-solving aspect of programming, and now I'm a full-time software developer.
This website, however, is a step back from engineering. I want to focus on the self-expression and creativity that I used to love about the internet.
