about me

hello, it's me, adele.

i must preface that i hate using capitalization but have a particular fondness towards using the oxford comma.

welcome to my little slice of the internet that serves 3 purposes:

1. to share my passions and my favourite things with the hope that you might find something in common or something new to experience;
2. collect precious memories, random thoughts, and ramblings in a place that will hopefully live on in memoriam (except when the world wide web and the wide open world ends); and,
3. to document projects and work that i'm proud of for professional development reasons.

version X

throughout the years, i have created various versions of what i wanted this website to look like. these are the core chronological pieces of the lore though there may be parts missing.

starting in the early 2000s, my initial curiousity for the internet led me to stumble into the beautiful world of neopets where i obviously tried to start my own guild and tried my hand at html/css. alas, i was not sucessful in creating a page dedicated to my one true ship, asucaga from gundam seed

to my best recollection, 2016 was my next coherent and earnest attempt with happy addy which was intended to be the same style of blog as this but is much less refined. i didn't really continue with it because of career and life changes at the time.

the old adeleka.ca website was built after getting my ui/ux design certificate as a way to showcase what i've learned and implement some of those design principles. it was mainly a method to find a job, which i didn't end up getting but learned about my personal design values throughout it's development. (i'll update the link once i have the domain switched up.)

and now we're here, to whatever version this will be remembered as in the long run. i welcome you to my virtual nesting ground and to continue working on this nest for years to come together.

in the pursuit of being better

you'll see this phrase tucked in different parts of this site as i truly believe life is about continuous learning and getter better everyday. yes you might have setbacks or do something that you don't feel good about, but in every one of those instances there is something you will have learned and adjust accordingly to. it could be something about yourself or a new standard you'll set up in your mind, those are all precious learnings that will make you a better person. i hope to embody this pursuit and it has been my linkedin tagline since my account inception so it must be true.

i hope you stay for the journey. go and explore, life's meant for living!

thanks for reading. say hello at hello@adeleka.ca.
