Who is Levvy?

Builder / Writer / Experimenter / Game maker

A solo builder and researcher exploring the intersection of games, tools, and ideas.

I make small worlds, useful systems, and long-form notes about the process — a mix of product, play, and personal research.

levvy.xyz is my studio, lab notebook, and magazine — a space to build, reflect, and share what I’m learning.

Lab log: a brief timeline Selected entries from the archive

  1. First experiments

    Started building small games and tools, mostly to see if I could. (I could, barely.)

  2. The systems phase

    Got serious about building: better tools, cleaner workflows, and a deeper interest in how things fit together.

  3. Writing, for real

    Began keeping proper notes and essays — not just build logs, but longer-form thoughts and research.

  4. The studio idea

    Framed it all as a studio: games, experiments, writing, and the space in between. levvy.xyz was born.

  5. Now

    Still building, still experimenting, still figuring it out — just at a larger, more intentional scale.
