As the new year begins, I’ve decided it’s time to relaunch this website. For a long time, I’ve struggled with what I wanted this site to be. Should it be a portfolio? A blog? A place to showcase all my projects and ideas? I wasn’t sure. But after reflecting on my journey so far, I’ve come to see this site as something much more meaningful: a repository for my lessons, my thoughts, and my experiences.


This site isn’t just a collection of information—it's going to be a place where I share my knowledge, my growth, and the insights I gain along the way. It will be a space where I document my journey towards a new chapter in my life.


Moving in a New Direction

At this point in my life, I can say that I’ve done the things that were expected of me. In my personal life and in my career, I’ve followed the expected path. I’ve crossed my Ts, dotted my Is, and checked off the boxes that I thought were important. But now, I feel like it’s time for a shift. It’s time for a new direction and a new game plan.


This year, I’ve decided to take a step back and explore what really excites me. I’m going to give myself the space and time to figure out what I’m truly passionate about. I want to work with more creativity, dive into bigger ideas, and take more risks than I have before. This year will be about finding new opportunities that align with my interests and passions—and that’s why I’m hitting the reset button with the relaunch of this site.


I’ll be taking most of the year off from my usual routines to explore new concepts and ideas. It’s not about escaping, but about learning, growing, and finding new ways to use my skills and experience. I want to bring a fresh perspective to the things I do, especially when it comes to my work processes. I’ve spent years refining my approach to managing products, teams, and projects, but now I’m ready to mix things up. I’m ready to get more creative, to think outside the box, and to take the risks that come with pursuing something new.


Sharing the Journey

One of the most important aspects of this relaunch is that I plan to share my journey here. I’ve learned a lot in my career and life so far, and I believe the best way to deepen my understanding is by documenting the process. Writing about my journey here will not only keep me accountable, but it will also help me reflect on the lessons I learn along the way.


The beauty of sharing this process is that it will help me stay honest. It’s easy to get distracted or stray off course when you’re exploring new things, but by sharing my thoughts and progress, I’ll have a record of what I’ve learned. I hope this site becomes a mirror for me. One echo of my voice through time.


But there’s more to this than just personal growth. I hope that by documenting my journey, I can offer something valuable to others. Maybe something I share will resonate with someone. Maybe they'll find an idea, a lesson, or a bit of wisdom that helps them on their own path. Whether they're interested in project management, design, or simply following someone’s journey of growth and self-discovery, I want to share what I’ve learned in a way that can be useful.


In many ways, this site will serve as a record of this chapter in my life. I’ll share my thoughts on creativity, the challenges of project management, the importance of design, and how all of these pieces fit together in the world of business and innovation. Most importantly, I’ll share the process of shifting gears and moving toward something new.


Embracing Creativity and Taking Risks

One of the biggest things I want to focus on in this next chapter is creativity. Whether I’m managing a product or a team, creativity has always been a core part of what I do. But too often, it gets lost in the shuffle of deadlines, budgets, and expectations. This year, I want to bring creativity to the forefront of everything I do. I want to work on bigger ideas and challenge myself to think in new ways.


Taking risks is a big part of creativity. In the past, I may have played it safe at times, sticking to what was tried and true. But I’ve learned that the greatest rewards often come from stepping outside of your comfort zone and embracing the unknown. So, I’m ready to take those risks.


A Record for the Future

As I move forward, I want to make sure that this site remains a true reflection of my experiences. The journey of personal growth and professional exploration is never linear—it’s full of twists and turns, successes and failures, highs and lows. By sharing that journey, I hope to create something more meaningful than just a collection of posts or articles.


The Imperium Codex isn’t just about my future—it’s about the process. It’s about the lessons I’ve learned, the risks I’ve taken, and the wisdom I’ve gained. I’m excited to see where this takes me.
