Ten years ago today on July 16th 2015, I created glenthemes. Just to be clear: I’m NOT saying goodbye. You’re all stuck in here with me. This is a look-back on my journey, the good, the bad, the ugly, and how I ended up where I am now. This short journal is mostly written in chronological order; if you’d like to skip to the parts you’re interested in, here’s the overview in which the the titles sound suspiciously like episode names:
- humble beginnings
- how I learned to code
- glenthemes was problematic 💅
- glenthemes logo
- paid themes & pages
- landing internships
- Discord community
- powerpoint guides
- college & hackathon
- featured on Tumblr’s “Getting Started” page
- tumblr changes / mobile & NPF era
- design style & branding
- “the friends we made along the way”
- what’s next?

would like to thank every single one of you for the immense love and support towards me through ups, mid, downs and hellish situations. without you, i would not make it through at all and for that, i will forever be grateful.
