About Me
As a graduate of the Cleveland Institute of Art with a major in Industrial Design, I have spent years blending the worlds of product design and fine art. My creative passions extend far beyond design; I find joy in exploring various mediums, from drawing and painting to trash art and everything in between. My work often gravitates toward conceptual art and abstract realism, with a deep focus on themes of nature, wildlife, the human experience, and nostalgia.
When I’m not creating, I’m outdoors—whether it’s fishing, enjoying nature, or pursuing my other passion: martial arts. I have competed in MMA, boxing, kickboxing, and currently compete in grappling and jiu-jitsu. These experiences fuel my art, bringing a unique perspective that combines the primal and the abstract.
Through my work, I aim to capture the raw essence of life—its beauty, its challenges, and everything that lies beyond.
