The template uses placeholder backgrounds. To add real photos:

2. Save them in an `images` folder
3. Update CSS background-image URLs:

```css
/* In styles.css, find these lines: */
.hero-bg {
    background-image: linear-gradient(...), url('images/hero-photo.jpg');
}

.header-bg {
    background-image: linear-gradient(...), url('images/header-photo.jpg');
}

.cta-bg, .stats-bg {
    background-image: linear-gradient(...), url('images/cta-photo.jpg');
}
```

**Photo Tips:**
- Use high-quality, professional images
- Images with depth/layers work well

### 2. Customize Projects (Work Page)

Each project card includes:
- **Challenge** - The problem you were solving

Update the `work.html` file with your actual projects, metrics, and achievements.

    --space-indigo: #22223b;
    --dusty-grape: #4a4e69;
    --lilac-ash: #9a8c98;
