This desk
A portfolio you can pick up.
The site you are on: my own desk in the browser, where everything can be picked up and the light follows the time of day. Designed and built by me, with Claude Code as a pair programmer.
A list of projects says what I made. A desk shows how I work: what I keep close, and how much I care about light, sound and the way things move. I wanted people to find things rather than scroll past them.
The sun moves with the clock and always comes in through the window; at night the moon takes over and the lamp throws soft shadows. A dial on the desk switches between film looks.
Every object is a real body: drag it, knock it over, hold on the desk to smack it and watch things jump. A red button glides everything back home.
−40%GPU time a frame after reworking the soft shadows, 22 → 13 ms
Soft shadows were most of the cost, so I measured every pass and cut only what nobody could see. The desk aims for 60 fps on a laptop and 30 on a phone; when a computer falls behind it rests for a moment, then lowers the resolution, and brings it back once it can.
Designed in the browser rather than in Figma. I set the direction and judged every change side by side; Claude Code wrote the code with me.
