PROJECT 7
THIS WEBSITE
This portfolio website HAs been A long journey in self-taught web development. I've Gained HTML, CSS, and JavaScript skills THRough this work that I have applied to numerous other smaller projects. This iteration marks approximately the fifth unique version, with countless revisions driven by advancing knowledge and evolving standards. Each update involves a complete reoptimization. This version was built on Webflow which has significantly expedited the workflow processes.

PROJECT 6
LANGDON INVITATIONAL
CHARITY T SHIRT
In support of our fraternity's philanthropic EFFORTS, I spearheaded A fundraising initiative centered around our annual hockey tournament, benefiting Special Olympics Wisconsin. I designed custom t-shirts tailored for the event, ESTABLISHED an online storefront to ORGANIZE sales and order management. I SOURCED high-quality shirts AND then coordinated printing logistics. I ALSO orchestrated fulfillment, Handling delivery to supporters. Through this effort, every dollar of profit generated was donated to Special Olympics Wisconsin, providing a meaningful CONTRIBUTION to our community.

PROJECT 5
CUSTOM BUILT 
ELECTRIC SKATEBOARD
designed and built a custom electric skateboard from scratch, Focused on affordability without compromising performance. The process involved crafting a CUSTOM deck using hand-shaping techniques, followed by painting and finishing. I 3D printed  enclosures to securely house electronic such as speed controller, battery, and sensors. Longboard trucks were outfit with a steel. belt-driven drivetrain. the board is able to reach speeds of over 20 mph while costing under $450, ULTIMATELY being a project of dealing with budget constraints.

PROJECT 4
FPV RACING DRONE
assembled a first-person view (FPV) racing drone using sourced parts from overseas. Flight controller and other onboard sensors were configured and recalibrated after numerous failed flights to INCREASE performance. The drone achieved peak speeds exceeding 100 mph. ULTIMATELY upkeep became to difficult and the project concluded.

PROJECT 3
SHORT FILMS
a series of short films shot and edited by me, scripted and directed either independently or with collaborative input. Exhibiting themes of absurdity and surrealism, the films often feature distorted plots, abstract characters, and unconventional themes. Developed during my time at the New York Film Academy and in high school, these films ARE explorations of unconventional storytelling and experimental filmmaking techniques.

PROJECT 2
GOON STICKER CO.
Goon Sticker Co. originated as a Coastal Themed art project, starting in a friend's garage in Southern California. Hand-drawn stickers underwent digital enhancement and recoloring before being sent for manufacturing. These stickers were then developed into packs and sold throughout my small hometown, serving as a grassroots initiative blending artistry with surf culture.

PROJECT 1
PHOTOGRAPHY
Began shooting photos at the age of 11, utilizing a Tiny point and shoot digital camera PASSED down to me by my grandmother. Over time, I transitioned to using either iPhone or a Nikon DSLR for capturing images. More recently, my focus has been in film photography, shooting with either a Contax TVS or a Nikon F3 camera.
