Welcome to my personal page, I'm so glad you made it!

My decision to go to Northwestern was largely rooted in their quarter system and the opportunity to pursue graduate-level courses in costume design, visual arts, game development, and experimental writing that would push me to explore multimedia art and collaborative projects in a new manner. During my time there I continuously pushed myself in new directions, I worked on over 25 theatrical productions, led the creative team of a fashion show, helped found a queer magazine, and worked as the Student Staff Development Manager of the university center. This varied experience truly cemented my project management skills and helped me hone my creative practice. Furthermore, I continued to pursue support and mentorship gaining accolades such as the Gilman Scholarship for studies in Greece, becoming a Gay Gaming Professional, publishing my first comic and game, and exhibiting my collections Conversations with Myself and Modern Reality - all in addition to my studies. 

In my time studying at Northwestern I exploited all aspects of the school to their fullest. Attaching three modules (minors with senior thesis projects) to my degree took me to the far creative reaches of the university. My Game Design, Interactive Media, and Animation Module exposed me to adobe and affinity creative suites; game, animation, and comic production pipelines; and exhibition design for museums. My Theatrical Design Module exposed me to draping, drafting, assorted fabrication techniques, scene painting, construction, and makeup design as one of a few undergraduates within the graduate-level cohort. Finally, my Writing for Stage & Screen Module allowed me to explore writing for theatre, animation, series, and features. This approach gave me a uniquely varied insight into written and visual storytelling, an approach which blends mediums and challenges traditional expectations. Within my work I now focus on maintaining the power of these influences as I craft relatable and engaging works, stunning visuals and complex narratives that do not bore audiences but wow them with meaningful interaction, call attention to what's lost in the systems of our society, and provide a springboard for continuous innovation.

My current creative practice spans gallery work, applied arts, and contract work. At the moment I'm planning upcoming murals with the City of Chicago and a private client as well as designing and writing a magazine spread for Indie City Games. If you haven't gathered by now, I've always thrived in the adaptive environment of multiple creative and problem-solving ventures combining and swirling around one another, iterating and inspiring each other.
