Personal Intro

I’m DamagedOwl — introvert, tech enthusiast, plant hoarder, aspiring artist, and resident overthinker.

My husband and I live full-time in 350 sq ft with two cats and more old Nintendo stuff than I want to talk about.

I love a good system — just not the kind that comes with a podcast and a 5 a.m. routine.

Our Humble Bus

What This Space Is

Wired & Rooted is where useful wins, weird is welcome, and pretty has to pull its weight.

It’s where I think out loud and post what doesn’t belong on a curated grid.

You’ll find RV and small-space living, digital experiments, creative systems, tech setups, learning to make art, and whatever else floats through the static.

Cat hair and all

What This Space Isn’t

What you won’t find here, productivity hacks, utopian minimalism, aesthetics that don’t leave room to work.

I like nature — but I also like electricity. I love notebooks — but I also love a good dual-monitor setup. And if it’s not functional, it doesn’t matter how pretty it is.

This is only one drawer…

Soft Close

If that sounds like your kind of mess, you’re welcome to stick around.

Sign up for updates, poke around the shop, or read a blog post or two.

Either way — thanks for visiting my little corner of the internet.

Very clicky
