How I Built This Website (It Didn’t Take Just One Day)

Firstly, I lied. It didn’t take a day—it took three hours per day over the course of three days.

Secondly, and more consequentially, I cheated. Here’s how:

I started with a web app (called Fashion Illustrator) that I created last year. Instead of building everything from scratch, I modified it to create what you see now.

This app uses Next.js and Tailwind CSS—a combination I have to thank my friend (Mwelwa) for introducing me to. Shoutout to him for that!

For deployment, I used Vercel in combination with GitHub—basically, fancy AWS.

As for the email API service, I used Mailchimp to handle that.

Most of the images on the site were created with Canva—I love Canva! And just for fun, my headshot was generated by AI and remove.bg.
