signal/loss is a personal site for izzi3m — experimental musician and visual artist — built as a pirate radio station that degrades the longer you listen.

Click to tune in. Music starts in shuffled order. 33 artworks cycle as a carousel. An audio-reactive gradient pulses with the music — bass drives chartreuse, mids drive cyan, highs drive off-white. The entire transmission decays: text glitches into block characters, images desaturate and jitter, the signal indicator counts down to zero. Refresh resets everything.

A daily Zo automation runs as the station's "signal controller" — every morning it recalculates the broadcast signal strength based on the day of the week, picks a decay flavour (chromatic, structural, textual, or interference), adjusts how fast the station falls apart, and logs the transmission. The site behaves differently depending on when you visit. Tuesday's station is strong and colour-heavy. Saturday's station is already half-broken when you arrive.

The site performs what the music sounds like.

Built solo on Zo Computer. Plain HTML/CSS/JS, no frameworks with some help from Claude for debugging and time management. Web Audio API for real-time frequency analysis. Custom colour palette pulled from a single pixelated photograph. Custom domain via Zo Hosting. Stripe payment link for direct support.

Nice.

Hi everyone! I'm new here and wanted to introduce myself.

I am a product designer with 10+ years experience with a sleek and modern design approach. One of my superpowers is my understanding of the power of brand to create delightful, engaging, but highly functional and intuitive products. I understand when to dial up brand or utility, while balancing business and user needs.

I'm an expert at both the analytical and creative sides of product development, and I can seamlessly switch from high-level product strategy to detailed design. Whether it's a complicated end-to-end feature or a blue sky solution, I have the toolkit to create products that people will enjoy or use with ease. My strengths also include building and maintaining design systems and leading teams towards a common goal.

I'm actively looking for part-time freelance. Please feel free to reach out or email me at hollyrankindesign@gmail.com. My full portfolio is available at www.hollyrankin.com.
