I grew up in Austin, TX, back when you could look out your window and see a man in a golden thong riding his bike around the neighborhood.

In elementary school, I started making LEGO stop-motion videos. I was instantly drawn to the process of making cool shit. I taught myself photoshop so my characters could throw their lightsabers, and by the time I was ten, I was posting my own After Effects tutorials onto youtube. (I would tell my little league team that I had video proof I could shoot lasers out of my eyes.)

In high school, I combined my passion for video with a game I was very into at the time, Rocket League. I grew a small business making gameplay montages for people all over the world, skipping days of school to look at my computer all day - exhilirating. And just like when I was younger, I started teaching people how to do the same. I grew a successful YouTube channel when I was 17, and a year later, after graduating early, I took a job offer from Epic Games and moved to San Diego.

(I also recieved SXSW Jury Selection for an animated short I made senior year but I couldn’t figure out how to sneak that in lol)

At Epic, I worked with the biggest brands in the world, collaborated with massive live-production teams and filmed on stage in front of 15,000 people. I learned how to blend my love for artistry and high-level execution with the professional needs of a business and a team selling a product.

Making something unique, captivating, and expressive - whether its for a car soccer video seen by eight million people, or a drawing of a weird guy I make to show my friends - is all I really care about.

I’ve since left Epic, moved back to Austin, and am enjoying exploring new opportunities - making videos, music, photography, painting, web design, and drawing :)
