Meet The Webmaster!

Hello yello! My name is Kodinami, and I also go by Niko. I’m an adult Hispanic, gender-ambivalent Demi Bi with ADHD and social anxiety. I mostly stick with she/they pronouns to make it easy, but I’m okay with any and all pronouns.

I’m a self-taught artist and have been drawing for almost my entire life. I did attend art school for undergrad, which almost fractured my interest in art until I decided to continue pursuing art as a hobby rather than a career. I enjoy making character designs and illustrations that incorporate celestial themes and imagery, as well as drawing characters from my favorite video game franchises!

I also dabble in other creative mediums, including music-making, writing, photography, sewing, and model building. Professionally, I work in human services, but am still trying to figure out my path in life. I also love playing video games, listening to music, watching anime and horror movies, reading, and eating delicious food! Check out my Listography for more!

Over the years, living life on the modern internet hasn’t been easy. Social media is just straight exhausting, as it feeds off our attention while barely promoting any uniqueness and individuality. I’ve felt that I had to hide parts of myself over the years to appear professional and competent online. I stressed too much about upholding a good image, while also fearing bringing any attention to myself.

I’ve always dreamed of making a website. The idea of having my own space that was just for me always felt so exciting, though I barely knew much about coding or web design, but when I learned about Neocities (thanks to this video), I jumped right in! Luckily, I’ve dabbled in HTML and CSS before, so after getting comfortable with the basics, I found that I really love the amount of control and creative freedom that comes with building a site, all the while feeling more determined and curious to navigate those tough site-building hurdles (like JavaScript aah)

This site is a place for me to be my true, authentic self. I don’t want to stress or worry anymore about being perceived or ignored, of being too weird or too boring, or being liked or disliked. I simply want to enjoy myself and be free and happy, having a good time and embracing my weird! And I think Neocities is a great place for that.

Thanks for sticking around! I hope you enjoy what you find here and maybe hang around to see my site grow!
