About Me

I'm Ray Chen — a curious person who writes to think and thinks to write.

This digital garden is where I collect and connect ideas across the things I care about: technology, design, learning, and how knowledge actually works.

What is a digital garden?

A digital garden is somewhere between a notebook and a blog. Ideas here aren't polished articles — they're living notes at different stages of growth. I use three stages:

• Seedling — a fresh idea, rough around the edges
• Budding — a developing thought with some structure
• Evergreen — a well-tended note I return to and refine over time

How to explore

The best way to navigate is to follow your curiosity. Start anywhere in the notes, and let the backlinks take you where they will.
