Maria tries to understand is my thought dump where I will be logging some things i’m trying to learn, understand and other experiments.
Disclaimer: I am not a writer. I am a designer by trade. I am not an expert on any of the topics I shall discuss below, I am just curious and I like to experiment + learn. I’m using this platform to log my thoughts, ideas and whatever else comes to mind. Please take what I write with a pinch of salt, and always do your own research.
Anything I write that might be wrong, please do correct me but be polite about it, thank you!
