Although I now call Nevada home, I was born and raised in the swampy melting pot that is Southeast Louisiana. From an early age, I was drawn to the colorful houses, Mardi Gras theatrics, and warm hospitality. As a creative kid, I immersed myself in professional wrestling, skateboarding, sports culture, and sneakers — drawing inspiration from designers like Tinker Hatfield who melded art with athleticism.

Tinker’s story led me to study architecture at LSU in Baton Rouge, where I would apply my childhood fascinations into my architectural curriculum. Over the past 8 years, I've honed my skills in architecture, focusing on conceptualizing spaces that marry functionality with aesthetics. Beyond my professional pursuits, I find joy in tinkering with vintage clothes, old film cameras, and woodworking projects, each reflecting my love for nostalgia and craftsmanship.
