About Me

Hi! I’m Lex. And here’s a random “about me” page that you’ll probably forget about.

What am I?

A person who’s taken on so much work that they feel like they need a website as a portfolio.

Has that work been released? Not much at the moment. Will that work ever release? Probably.

Who am I?

I’m from New England, a place known for their accents and having possibly the least offensive politicians around.

My pronouns are they/them because I’m still figuring out who I am.

Yes, I do try and pitch my voice slightly higher than it naturally is. Fight me. (You’d win. I’m not very strong.)

Software recommendations?

I use plenty of software on a daily basis, so I may as well make a list.

  • Raycast (macOS replacement for spotlight)
  • WordPress (the thing that powers this website)
  • Marp (presentations made using markup)
  • ClickUp (project management software – currently use it to manage all my projects)

Other Miscellaneous Stuff

Music Stuff

For my full thingy related to my “professional” (can’t really be professional at this point) career, check out my post on my music style.

I’m also an avid listener to indie, pop, and some anime (limited to Studio Ghibli. Their soundtracks are bangers) music.

Here’s the playlist I listen to the most:

Judge my music choices. I don’t care. Also, I took that photo. Cool!

Do I expect anyone to actually listen? No. Everyone has their unique music preferences. And this is mine.

I’m also a bit of a pianist, so I decided to make a playlist of songs I can play on a piano. (I work on this in my spare time – like when I have nothing else to do.)

I did not take that photo. But I like to say I’m decent at piano.

I have a volt.fm profile and a stats.fm profile too. And I’m also an artist. Listen to some of my songs, maybe?

What do I participate in?

Glad you asked. Here’s a list of stuff that I participate in.

School Related

  • Movie Maker’s Club (writer, possibly musician, and occasional actor/extra in short films)
  • Band (yes, that’s right! I can play the drums badly! in all seriousness, I’m just usually better at tuned percussion or keyboard)
  • Choir (tenor)
  • Robotics (The Wire Clippers – website & social media manager, wireclippers.org)

Can you participate in other stuff?

Yeah! My schedule’s wide open. Contact me about anything and I’ll probably participate.

Honestly, not a lot. I’m not sure why I need an “about me” page.
