One of my earliest memories is painting in the bathtub. Ever since I got my hands on art supplies, even in the bathtub, I couldn’t stay away. In school, art class was always my favorite subject, which led me to take advanced art theory classes at UArts while still in high school. Today, you'll often find me working on ridiculous art projects of all shapes and sizes.

At four years old, my parents enrolled me in Taekwondo. At first, I thought this meant I was going to become a ninja. Instead, I earned my Black Belt at 12 and was teaching full classes by 15. Trust me, if I could get thirty toddlers to listen to me and call me "sir," I can help your audience listen to you.

Around the same time, I received my first piece of technology: a Nintendo DS Lite. I fell in love with Pokémon (Dragonite is my favorite!), and eventually started "hacking" my devices. It began with figuring out how to modify my DS to get infinite items in Pokémon Platinum, but quickly grew into a fascination with understanding the technology behind how media is created and displayed. I've always dreamed of creating projects that people love. Not-so-shockingly, I even made this website from scratch!

Another hobby I loved was watching TV. I've probably seen every episode of SpongeBob five times each. Since I watched so much television, I was constantly exposed to commercials and always found myself thinking, "how could I make this better?" I even remember being annoyed by the mid-show commercials on Nickelodeon. Today I combine my backgrounds in art, technology, and communication to create the content that would've satisfied nine-year old me. Every aspect of my life has inspired me to push the limits in digital communication to create art that leads it's viewers to success.

Now, I'm pushing the limits of what a portfolio website can be right in front of you. Welcome to my website! What wakes me up in the morning is using my skills to teach, connect, and make the world beautiful. Consider me for your next creative marketing or branding project, because you deserve someone who puts 110% into expressing the beauty in what makes you most excited.

Do your thing, I make sure people LOVE IT.
