How I built this

This site is a personal static website built with the Hugo framework. I created the content as Markdown files and added a few personal CSS files on top of the LoveIt theme to customize the appearance.

How it works (reordered):

1. Authoring: I write content in Markdown and add images and small CSS overrides alongside the LoveIt theme.
2. Local preview: I run Hugo locally with hugo server -D to generate the site and preview changes with live reload.
3. Version control: changes are committed with Git and pushed to a public GitHub repository.
4. Continuous deployment: Netlify watches the repository, builds the static site, and deploys it to the configured domain.
5. Production: the site is served from Netlify and connected to a custom domain that I purchased.

The main goal of this project is to publish my previous and future works in a space I control — a small personal “museum” to track my evolution over time. I created the site in April 2020 using Hugo and the LoveIt theme.
