One home for the code, craft, cameras, and curious side quests.
A portfolio for the digital work, the physical work, and the connective thinking underneath both.
The work reads better once the site stops forcing it into one bucket.
I do not want this to feel like a random list of hobbies or one flattened brand voice. The professional pages should feel sharper and more public-facing. The personal pages should feel more like an archive of attention, craft, and follow-through.
Professional lanes
App development, jewelry, upholstery, and woodworking carry the Trace Downey Designs logo because they speak most directly to public-facing judgment, material decisions, and finished presentation.
Personal lanes
Photography, drone footage, origami, quilting, and renovation carry the signature instead, so they feel more personal, observational, and process-driven.
Big enough for all the side things. Focused enough to still feel like me.
I do not want this site to read like a random list of hobbies. I want it to make the case that the same strengths show up whether I am building an interface, planning a quilt, setting a stone, documenting a renovation, or shaping a piece of wood.
That means clarity, care, and a little personality in every section. It also means giving each category enough room to breathe instead of forcing everything into one narrow template.

WorkCapabilities, collaboration fit, and the kinds of problems that hold my attention.

Some people will arrive here for a single project, a resume link, or a rights question. The goal is that they leave with a fuller picture of how I work and what I care about making.
