Early WIP!

This website is in the early stages of development! Optimization is a bit rough at the moment!

Howdy! I'm Ash! Check back as I continue to build this little slice of the internet!

Howdy! Welcome to my website! My name is Ash Hillerich, but I like to work under the alias Ash Stone. I'm a 30 year old nonbinary digital artist, photographer, and designer currently living in Nevada. I have a deep love of 90s and Y2K design, with a particular soft spot for Grind Fiction and Memphis.

This website is both my portfolio and my love letter to early desktop computing. It has been lovingly coded from scratch by hand without the use of any artificial intelligence! That stuff is cringe!
