Meet the maker

I've been digital doodling since I was five.

SpeedGrid is the newest chapter in a life spent arranging color, images, and ideas until they feel right. I'm Joey Wright—the designer, photographer, and very particular computer user behind it.

One creative thread

Art + Design + Photography = SpeedGrid

The foundation

A lifelong artist

I grew up drawing, building, and experimenting with whatever creative tools I could get my hands on. The computer quickly became one of them.

The structure

Ten years in design

After earning my B.A. in Digital Media from UCF, I spent a decade as a full-time graphic artist learning how hierarchy, spacing, color, and restraint shape the way something feels.

The eye

Fifteen years in photography

Photography turned that same attention toward light, detail, and the world around me. Some of the places I've photographed now live inside SpeedGrid as visual themes.

Why SpeedGrid exists

I built the new tab I wanted.

For years, I used the tools that were available and kept imagining a version that felt calmer, more flexible, and more visually complete. Eventually, web technology made it possible for me to build that version myself.

SpeedGrid began as a personal project: one place where everything could have a purpose, a position, and a look that made opening a browser feel good. I fell in love with using it, so I decided to share it.

“I use SpeedGrid every day, so I notice the little things and keep finding ways to make it better.”

Made personally

Made with care. Built to keep improving.

SpeedGrid is designed and built in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Feedback and support flow into the same product process that shapes each release. What you see today will keep evolving through daily use, customer conversations, and the same eye for detail that started this whole story.
