About meI am a freshman at Miami University in Oxford, OH. I have always enjoyed creating things that make people feel good, whether its art, music or even laughter. I love singing, playing sports, eating new foods, and travelling. I was born in Dayton, OH, and I am a huge Kansas Basketball fan! I am always looking for new things to try and share with others. In every situation that I put myself in I approach with a relaxed and comfortable mindset that keeps myself and others on task and always enthusiastic.

Sluggish, Lazy, Stupid, and Unconcerned

This is my rendition of Frank Ocean’s “blond“ album cover. The four words are symbol-ic and occur throughout the entire album. By manipulat-ing text outlines I was able to create a unique portrait that depicts Frank ocean as an iconic artist.

Deconstruction-Reconstruction

In this image I deconstruct-ed a ukulele and utilized all of its key parts. By cutting and cropping the different parts, I was able to make a ukulele man with gradient designs behind him. He looks pleasently surprised and hap-py to be a ukulele man, just like his father and grand fa-ther before him.
