I make videos, build things I want to use, and learn a lot by putting them out into the world.

Beyond the selected projects

More of me

Smaller builds, time on set, and things happening around campus. A little more of what I spend my time doing.

Where it started · 2022

The keyboard I built

I designed and built a 40% mechanical keyboard, from the layout and PCB to the case.

Summer 2026 Internship

Trifilm

At the start of the summer, I packed up in Chicago and moved to Seattle to join Trifilm. I had made plenty of videos on my own, but this was my first chance to spend a whole summer around a production team. Over 400 hours of shooting, editing, shadowing, and asking questions later, I came home with a much better sense of what goes into the work.

Up next · November

Heading to Adobe MAX

I'm heading to Adobe MAX in Miami Beach with a small group of Adobe Student Ambassadors to represent the student community! I'm looking forward to learning from creative experts, meeting students from around the world, and taking a few Adobe Certification exams while I'm there.

Marketing chair

Redbird Barbell

I'm the marketing chair for Redbird Barbell at Illinois State. I've helped table and advertise the club, and our first meeting brought together 33 members. It's been a chance to put what I'm learning in marketing into practice around something I already love: lifting.
