I’ve spent the last few entries talking about the creative world — how noisy it can be, how influence works, how easy it is to lose your voice in the middle of it all. But I haven’t properly introduced myself to anyone who might be arriving here for the first time.

So, let me slow down and do that.

I’m Isaiah.

I care about making things — websites, visuals, digital experiences, small ideas that turn into bigger projects. I’ve always been drawn to design, not because I was trained into it, but because it was the first space where trial-and-error felt natural. I learned by doing, by breaking things, by fixing them, by getting curious. Over time, that curiosity turned into a real craft.

Alongside that, I’m pursuing a career in finance.

It’s not tied to my creative work; it stands on its own. I’m studying at Strathmore University, exploring the field seriously and openly, even if the details of the path aren’t fully clear yet. I’m comfortable with that uncertainty — it’s part of the process.

Then there’s Chaldea Studios, the creative space I’m building.
It’s early, still forming its identity, but it’s where my design work lives with intention. I’ve begun mentoring a few creatives, slowly shaping a team that I hope will someday be known for producing thoughtful, high-quality work. There’s a long road ahead, but the foundation is honest: to build something meaningful, something disciplined, something that gives talented creatives real opportunities.

And that brings me to the purpose of this journal.

This space isn’t here to present a polished version of me or to list accomplishments. I already have places online that flatten people into profiles — headings, bios, a line of skills, a handful of projects squeezed into rectangles. Useful, but incomplete.

I want this place to be different.

I’m writing here to document my growth as it actually happens — the learning, the thinking, the decisions, the shifts in direction. I want this space to serve as a personal home on the internet, one that gives context to the work I do and the intentions behind it. A place where someone can understand how I think, not just what I’ve done.

I also want to stand out as more than a résumé.
My interests, my art, my ambitions — they’re not bullet points. They’re connected parts of a real person, evolving at their own pace. And I think everyone deserves to be seen that way: not as titles or achievements, but as individuals with stories, contradictions, ideas, and their own unique mix of passions.

So if you’re new here, welcome.

You’re joining at a stage where things are still forming. Where I’m still learning, still experimenting, still figuring out what my work — and my voice — will become. Nothing is final here. Nothing is overly polished. It’s just an honest record of the journey.

And I think that’s the most valuable part.
