About
Wade Arave: higher education administrator, writer, and builder of things that might be useful.
The work
I work in admissions and enrollment at a university in the Pacific Northwest. Most of my days are spent helping students navigate the often confusing path into higher education.
On the side, I build this, both physical and digital. The kinds of things that solve a problem, sometimes the solutions are useful.
This site
This is where I write about the things I'm making, the ideas I'm wrestling with, and what it takes to actually finish. The audience is anyone who finds it useful — and, more than anyone, future me.
No growth strategy. No content calendar. Just writing my future self will thank me for.
