What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment where I can merge art and technology, fostering creativity and innovation.

As a graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, I have cultivated a unique blend of artistic skills and technical expertise, particularly in sculpture and art technology. My education has equipped me with a strong foundation in various artistic mediums, allowing me to explore innovative ways to express my creativity. I am passionate about integrating technology into my art, utilizing tools such as Rhino 3D and Adobe Creative Suite to bring my visions to life.

Throughout my academic journey, I have participated in several group exhibitions, showcasing my work and collaborating with fellow artists. My experience as a Student Worker at the SAIC Metal Shop has further honed my skills in metalwork and tool maintenance, ensuring that I can create high-quality pieces. Additionally, my background in animal science and hands-on experience with wildlife rehabilitation have instilled in me a deep appreciation for nature, which often inspires my artistic endeavors.
