and Design in May 2023. Since then I have been hopping around the place
to better understand different demographics and industry of areas that I am interested in. Although I am a designer, I am truly and artist and creative at heart with goals to be able to be able to make anything I can think of. I love camping, backpacking, board sports, sailing, nature, any medium of art, and traveling. I hope to work for a company that can help create amazing experiences for people in the fields that I love.
Education
BFA at Laguna College of Art and Design

My major is Graphic Design + Digital Media with an action sports emphasis. I switched from film photography to digital, honed in on my style of illustration and found a love for pattern work, I started apprenticing under an artist fab shop with focuses on metal and 3D printing along with using laser cutters, plasma cutters, CNC machines, along with finding a love for product and apparel design within action aports.
Dana Hills Highschool
2015-2019
Even though this is a decent amount of time ago, this is where I really started getting into design and production. I started selling stickers and shirts with my designs to fellow students and reaching out to shops. I also started selling my work at events and won awards for my work through my school and community.
Work
Night Audit
Gravity Haus,
Breckenridge, CO
Feb 24' -Current
The night audit position was a choice made that allows me to spend a lot of time at the base of the mountain along with being able to snowboard during the day.
I decided to move out here for the time, to better understand the snowboarding industry and community since I have not spent a lot of time around it. Staying from the winter season through summer allows me to find communities that extend my knowledge in the backcountry and fresh-water fishing scenes as well.

Laguna Beach, CA

I started out doing custom vinyl printing in house for our own items and customer designs. From there, I started doing designs for them to be screen printed on shirts. I also have done signage and a small mural for them. I continue to instruct one of their new designers and help critique and help him through the production process.
Farm Hand
Ancient Valley Growers,
Pahala HI
Dec 23' -Feb 24'
I have been told I should WWOOF for years so I decided to go out here to experience the culture while getting large array of farm experience from milking cows, to taking care of egg chickens, butchery meat chickens, lots of planting and harvesting of cabbage, carrots, daikon and different radish, and many citrus fruits.
I also designed some posters for them to show at farmers markets to inform the community of their farm and promote their products.
