C: is my main drive. The foundation where everything runs from.

I’m Chris Ruttmann, a web designer on a mission to become complete. Not perfect. Complete.

The kind of person who can design a beautiful website, tile a bathroom, build wealth, maintain deep relationships, and help anyone who calls.

A modern Renaissance man with high integrity, technical ability, and a deep life.

Every week, I share what I’m learning as I max out my character stats IRL:

- Mastery and skill-building
- Deep work and slow productivity
- Design, business, and creative work
- Life systems: wealth, health, home, relationships

This newsletter is for people a few steps behind me and those figuring out their direction, wanting to live with more depth, and choosing substance over speed.

No AI slop.

No generic advice.

Just real experiences, earned lessons, and honest reflection.

If you’re tired of surface-level content and want to build something meaningful—your skills, your work, your life—you’re in the right place.

Subscribe and let’s level up together.
