Hey there! I'm an artist from Louisville, KY, focusing on digital art, graphic design, video production, photography, content creation, and a variety of physical crafts. I graduated from Somerset Community College's Visual Communication: Multimedia, Digital Design + Video Production program.I have a love for story telling and finding out the best ways to share those stories, whether it's a fiction or reality. I tend to analyze everything I see, from movies, to video games, to a poster outside a burger place. No matter what form it takes, all media has the goal of conveying a certain emotion or idea, and I'm constantly evaluating how well those goals were achieved.If you would like to see some of my work, click one of the buttons below!

Art Fight

Organizations
I've created art for both Blessings in a Backpack, an organization who helps feed children who rely on school meals for food, and The Book Works, a local organization who assist young people who may be falling behind in education.
My Mascot
At the age of twelve in the late spring of 2017, Birbliet was born! Or rather, drawn for the first time. Birbliet has been my little cartoon persona since I was a kid, sometimes being drawn as a fully anthropomorphic bird, though other times, just living out life as an orb.
Fan Art
Some of my biggest motivations to draw come from wanting to express my love for my favorite series and characters in the form of fan art. Here are just a few of my favorites.
Kinstugeon (Pokémon)A concept for a rock type "eeveelution" I came up with. The name comes from the Japanese art of kintsugi, which is when broken pieces of pottery are mended together with gold, highlighting their flaws.
Omega Flowey (Undertale)One of my favorite characters from when I was twelve. As strange as it may sound, he's been a big comfort character of mine for many years now.
Black Sapphire Cookie
(Cookie Run: Kingdom)Some practice of puppet animating my art for the first time.
