A Little

About Me

My artistic journey is deeply intertwined with my passion for music, which has been a ​constant source of inspiration since childhood. Graduating from the University of ​Colorado with a major in Graphic Design and a minor in Studio Art, I have cultivated a ​diverse skill set that spans oil painting, pencil, charcoal, acrylics, adobe illustrator, ​photoshop, procreate, and most other artistic tools. My design work leverages Adobe ​Creative Suite, allowing me to blend hand-drawn and physical elements with digital ​precision. My approach to art is dynamic and eclectic, incorporating traditional ​techniques, surrealism, still lifes, graphic illustrations, and abstract styles. Although my ​personal style reflects a lot of abstract color, I choose to push myself into practice of ​every style in order to learn and gain insight on artistic choices. I focus on ​incorporating both digital art and physical art in a way that compliments one another in ​order to excel in both categories. The themes of my work often reflect my feelings and ​outlook on life, often times letting whatever music I am listening to take lead. Notable ​achievements include showcasing my art at the University of Colorado Visual Arts ​Center and collaborating with prominent DJs such as Illenium, Louis the Child, ​Madeon, and others. My creative process is playful and instinctive, driven by a desire ​to explore every idea and let my hands guide the work while my mind rests. Looking ​ahead, my goal is to continue creating and collaborating on larger projects, using my ​art to inspire others and strengthen the connection between art and music.

Flow St8te Apparel is a fashion merchandise brand I founded, set to make its debut this fall. With marketing efforts starting in September 2024, ​Flow St8te celebrates the organic flow of artistic creation, particularly painting.

My journey with art began with painting on walls, clothes, furniture—essentially anything within reach. For Flow St8te, I embraced a unique ​approach: I started with a blank slate, free from preconceived ideas about artistic outcomes. By immersing myself in a true flow state, I allowed ​the materials and the creative process to shape the brand.

For our collection in Fall 2024, we will offer 3-4 t-shirt designs alongside a selection of accessories. Each design begins as a hand-painted ​piece on canvas, which is then digitally refined to create apparel-ready artwork. Below, you'll find mockups of potential designs for DROP 1.

Completed logo design, T-shirt design, album cover and posters. I used my own sketches and illustrator for the logo. For the two posters and album cover I used Illustrator. For the T shirt Design I used Procreate.

After attending No Art Miami at Club Space and the No Art Festival in Amsterdam, I was approached ​by the No Art team to contribute art materials for their upcoming events. My work was then selected ​to be featured in the promotional materials for a No Art event in Athens, Greece. For this project, I ​created a piece using watercolor and black ink, capturing a sense of cohesion and vibrance.

High Five is an agency created in my capstone with 4 other individuals. I was assigned to be the Art and Creative director of the agency, and we created the name "High Five." As the Art Director, I created the logo for the High Five Agency. During this capstone, we were assigned a Vodka brand called Zyr. Zyr is a vodka that has switched its production from Russia to America and is doing a full image rebranding to transition to a classy, high quality vodka. For our campaign, we chose to focus on the insight that most vodkas taste the same, and people chose their vodka based on the image that the specific brand provides. We chose to execute this concept through humor and sarcasm, as well as giving Zyr a simple yet sophisticated image. As the Art and Creative Director, I created concepts to show Zyr as a competitor to other high quality vodkas, as well as emphasizing the unknown and mysterious expirience that comes with drinking Zyr. As well as being the creative behind these ideas, I also brought them to life by designing 15 mock instagram posts, and 3 mock posters or Out-Of-Home advertisements in Subways or other public places. I designed each advertisement or post from scratch using illustrator.

BLNKCNVS is an event production company known for orchestrating concerts and events across Miami, ​Nashville, Jacksonville, and Orlando, FL. Since September 2023, I’ve collaborated with the BLNKCNVS team on a ​diverse range of projects. This includes creating promotional materials for renowned artists such as Madeon, ​Illenium, Nitti, Louis the Child, Shipwrek, Noizu, Barclay Crenshaw, Detox Unit, Wuki, Two Friends, and others.

In addition to designing flyers and event art for these artists, I’ve developed hand-drawn merchandise for ​BLNKCNVS, crafted Miami Music Week graphics, created GIFs, and designed Out of Home advertising for their ​new club opening in Jacksonville, FL. I also am the sole Art Director for their two-day New Year’s event, "To the ​Future," in Nashville, Tennessee, handling everything from logo design and announcement graphics to lineup ​visuals and overall art direction.

Up & Up Festival is a touring Music Festival that brings headliners to the three college campus’s that earn the ​most ticket sales. For the Fall 2023 season, I created the Dr. Fresch Artist Announcement as well as the Map Art. ​For the Spring 2024 Season, I have been assigned as the sole designer for Up&UP Festival, creating each graphic ​for the season, like Announcements, CTAs, Supporting Artists, Party Event graphics and more. The three projects ​below are projects released to the public so far. For both projects, I work closely with the festival management, as ​well as the artist management. Each project had completely different assignments and brand identities, ​showcasing a flexibility of content. Each project created with Procreate, Illustrator and Photoshop.
