I am a 21 year old engineering student at the University of Southern California in downtown Los Angeles. I was raised outside of Portland, Oregon, growing up in the greenest city on the planet. I now live in, what seems, the most brown city on the planet. At least I have a different perspective on the world now, right? I have always been drawing, painting, and tinkering with programs on the computer. I have taken all of these skills together to create pieces of art and attempt to share them with the world.

I like to mix up what I do and not only focus on one type of art. I'd like to believe that I have a wide range of abilities consisting of designing websites, painting, drawing, graphic design, and a few other things. I like to crochet as well. Also by majoring in engineering I am getting a whole different set of skills and knowledge base.

Skiing is a large part of my life; I try to be out skiing every weekend. This love of the outdoors influences my art, and also what I do with it. The relatively new industry of freestyle skiing, which is youthful and ambitious, has opened many doors for me. I hope to continue to bring a unique and exciting look to the industry and be influential with my art.

Living in Southern California, I have taken up skate boarding and surfing in the skiing off-season. Even though the sports are in such different settings, the culture and styles are very similar. It's exciting to see our freestyle skiing culture develop and become it's own entity, but still have that cool stylistic appeal to the general public like the surf and skate scene.
