I grew up in Southern California as a surfer, sailor, and climber. I have always been passionate about the outdoors and what sports come with them. I fell in love with everything nature from being able to explore the outdoors of the coastline to the mountains. During my time in highschool I was drawn to the world of art either via pencil and paper or digital. I quickly found ways to channel that art via woodworking, Adobe Illustrator, pencils, pens, paintbrushes, and other mediums including the pages of my textbooks. Once I realised this passion I decided to run with it and began working in our Associative Student Body which only nurtured this passion further. I designed shirts for my fellow students, posters for events, and a lot of our sets for rallies. As I moved away from the coast and deep into the mountains of Utah, I continued to run with this passion of mine, but more as a side gig. I was doing work for friends, family, and my fraternity. However, once word spread I had friends of friends reaching out for design, and copy work for them and their businesses. Once I realized the potential of my skills I wanted to begin working at a professional capacity with them. I found that the University of Utah had an on-campus ad agency and applied. I became a graphic designer for them and have since worked on campaigns for several companies from web design, to full fledged campaigns. What the next step looks like, I am not sure yet, but I am hopeful.
