With a vision to blur the boundaries between art and fashion, I embarked on a journey to create a captivating collection of 3D printed jewelry and accessories. The collection is titled NEPTUNE. The designs of my pieces draw inspiration from the ocean and its inhabitants, ranging from little critters in tidepools to the darkest abyssal trenches. Here, fish withstand the unholy water pressure while illuminating disarming bioluminescent beauty. All of the pieces are resin printed and 3D modeled using Blender and Nomad Sculpt. The pieces in the collection range from fluidic printed eyewear to spinning rings. I wanted each piece to exude avant-garde charm and feel like wearable art on the body. The colors used vary from shimmering silver reminiscent of moonlight on a watery horizon to shapeshifting hues of coral in one piece, changing color depending on the angle of the light, thus creating an enchanting play of color and shadow. Through the fusion of cutting-edge technology and timeless design, my aim is to create not just accessories, but artifacts that inspire wonder and curiosity and push the boundaries of fashion and art.

Gunk is an art and fashion brand that represents the strange and disturbed. As someone who identifies with the more obscure side of life, I wanted to create a project that looks like my brain threw up and I'm forcing everyone to look at it. With my experience in graphic design, fashion styling, and magazine management, Gunk encompasses all of my passions into one big project. gunkyard instagram

Sports. This binder isn't really about sports. There are plenty of callbacks to the title but the word felt like such a perfect umbrella for what I want to communicate with this project. More than any athletic or historical reference this collection is about process and iteration.

The Viewport² music player provides a casing for your smartphone that intentionally degrades your technology. You will experience limited functions and worse-off quality, but also rediscover what it means to live in a highly digitized world.

And here I still stand. A sentiment that has been growing more and more necessary. “I'm here. I'm here and I'm still standing.” When the whole world feels as if it's floating away and I have nothing to hold on to, how can I reroot myself again? When the things that were once thought as promised, are not, where can I look to find safety again? When everything once grasped tight is lost, how can I trust these hands again? Where can I place my hopes, where can I place my dreams, where can I find a soft place to land?

My project, Surrealism in Immersive Soundscapes, combines visuals with dream-like soundscapes to create locations for listeners to inhabit. Inspired by the process of writing in a dream journal, I aim to craft audio-visual worlds that bring me closer to home, myself, and my dreams. In this project, I explore the boundaries of reality and imagination, inviting audiences to immerse themselves in surreal environments that blur the lines between the conscious and subconscious. By creating these immersive experiences, I hope to evoke a sense of wonder, introspection, and connection to the inner self.

Handmade with Love. An exploration of digital typeface and screenprint practices translated into a quilt blanket.

Mold. My project focuses on obsessive-compulsive disorder and the effect it can have on one's life. Through mold imagery viewers can see how different obsessions take over and spread.

Mourning Lens is a large scale (4x8 ft.) mausoleum structure representative of a bereavement hallucination, which is when you experience the presence of a loved one after their passing. This project is meant to be not only a symbol of my own grief and how I have processed it for the last 15+ years, but also a way to memorialize my father and our relationship. The materials employed, such as the lenticular print, scent elements, and the imposing nature of the structure itself, are meant to make the viewer feel as though they are in the presence of a loved one, more specifically my father. The lenticular prints, which through the use of multiple images and a specific lens make a 2D surface appear 3D, are 2 images composed of a total of 16 different kaleidoscopic collages made from images of me and my father from my early childhood.

SightSound. This book explores mystery and ambiguity through the use of hidden symbols, signs, and other digital media. It includes content from past and present projects, doctored AI-generated imagery, and reinterpretations of everyday signs and characters. Semiotics, surrealism, and digital art have all played major roles in my inspiration for this project. To communicate these interests, I attempted to blur reality and imagination, through the use of digital collaging. Each collage offers a glimpse into a world where familiar objects gain new significance and messages emerge from the subconscious.

Spektacle; an Ode to Harmonious Discord. My sisters and I, my chosen family, portray the absurdities we know to be true. Through improvised skits we act and speak to a transfiguration into our highest selves. Feeling the fantasy every other day, the trials of our charisma is put in the spotlight. A surreal confrontation or an unlikely destination could be just another catalyst with which this journey reorients your perspective. With curiosity alone guiding us we are met with abundance as well as desolation that bring us back to the same conclusion time and time again; that one must "release their wiggle" to summon their inner diva.

Real Alphabet. “We shape ourselves to fit this world and we also shape the world.” The inspiration for my project comes from my craft experience with hammering metalwork. As a senior student in college, I want to record this time that we are facing the changes or options after graduating. At this time, how do we shape ourselves to fit this new situation and what could we do in/for this society in the future? I see the real world as a new learning environment, much like a child's perspective. Viewing myself as a child, I anticipate facing unknown challenges ahead. Similar to how kids learn through the alphabet, I propose an “alphabet book” as a symbolic tool for the young generation to understand and navigate the complexities of real society.
