Fueled by a passion for mixed martial arts and a career in the U.S. Army, I create and design pieces that inspire and motivate. I see aesthetics when I’m in formation on the field and see art when my jiu-jitsu coach is demonstrating a move. The discipline and mental toughness I’ve acquired from both ROTC and MMA training intersect with my curious and artistic side. This intersection allows me to produce work that is purposeful and effective in sending a message.
      Through studying a new, complex language and living in the woods for days at a time, I embrace challenge. The way I’m being trained to become a transformational officer in the army – a future leader of a platoon – translates to my work as a graphic designer, sketch artist, and painter. Whether I’m leading a team or crafting a visual story, I approach each endeavor with intention and intensity.
