Traditional and digital artist based out of Portland, OR. I make videos that I want to watch at the end of the day with friends, at a party, or just on the tv to zone out and relax. Grandma used to always shout at me as a kid screaming "Make sure you learn computers. They're gonna be the thing." So I did. By day, I'm a marketing executive with over a decade of experience in SaaS, affiliate, and digital marketing, currently leading a company consistently rated among the Inc. 5000 fastest-growing companies for over 6 years. By night, I'm a self-taught internationally exhibited and award winning AI artist creating generative experiences through music, animations, music videos, film, and brand/artist collaborations.
