About Me!
I learn from homeschool and use different types of programs to learn like Synthesis & Invisible College. I explore diverse cultures and broad educational topics, avoid repetition, and am grateful to not sit in class all day. I'm interested in Crypto, NFTS, Metaverse, A.I., and Art
Emphasis
Classes and Programs that I've Focused on
Google Project Management
Some of the things I learned from completing this course are, explaining the project management life cycle and comparing different project management methodologies, Defining organizational culture, and explaining how it impacts project management.
Karate Instructor
Terry Middleton, a 10th-degree blackbelt, has taught for 50 years and earned a lifetime achievement award. At his studio, I teach all classes from white belt to black belt working with kids and adults, leading the teaching, correcting, and encouraging.
Chat GPT / RunwayML AI
Used ChatGPT for ideas/sketches/concepts, then RunwayML to turn images to a film for a contest. Used the same processes I learned from this project for other work (logos, graphic design, etc.).
Google Digital Marketing
Google certified in Digital Marketing, E-commerce, Marketing Analytics, and Customer Outreach.
Digital Art | Procreate (Dreams) & Premire Pro
I do various art projects including animations, pictures, & videos.

I took a medieval drawing and turned it into 3D using Swift Playground & Procreate
NFT Project
I managed a community NFT drop, by minting the NFTs and sending them to members' wallets and IRL.
Crypto OnRamp | Community Project & Interviews
I interviewed different people at various crypto and Web3 events
Technology / Digital Design
I have taken a variety of classes on technology including computers, hardware, software, and programs like Python, Glide, SketchUp, and have taught myself other software for graphic design, website creation, and social media.
Synthesis School
Synthesis is a class where I and other students have to try and figure out and play a game without any instructions to develop critical thinking, collaboration, and decision-making skills.
CPR, First Aid & Child Psychology
I took a series of adult classes and have Red Cross certificates in CPR, First Aid and Child Care and Advanced Child Psychology.
Theology
I take Catechism classes and have studied Biblical Studies and Systematic Theology online, live and with my church Faith Lutheran (Lutheran Church Missouri Synod).
Sign Language
I took a sign language class from the Heuser Hearing Institute. Virtual Beginning Sign Language was an overview of American Sign Languag (ASL). This was an adult class from the Director of Behavioral Health and Social Services.

Baxus Highlight Reel
I took all the best Baxus clips and added my hand-drawn animations using Procreate Dreams
3D Medieval Drawing
In this project, I took a Medieval drawing (manuscript illumination) and turned it into a 3D digital artifact using Swift Playground & Procreate. I minted it as NFT and gave it away as part of a project to teach people these technologies. I also created a tutorial showing the workflows and explaining the technology.

Brand Building
We started by choosing a social cause and studying our target audience. Then, we designed unique logos and planned the branding process, including tagline, colors, imagery, and representation. Based on our research, we created branded products, which we presented at the end of the class.
Nirvana Sales Presentation
In this project for a Graphic Design Class, I explored how to use design to improve sales and engagement. In a given scenario, the band Nirvana approached me as their client to boost declining music sales. My task was to analyze the situation, identify root causes, and propose solutions. I pinpointed five reasons for the sales decline and suggested five potential solutions. We presented our findings and proposed solutions in class.
Gestalt Theory & Thumbnails
In these projects for a Graphic Design class, I put theory into practice.
Project 1. We created compositions illustrating each of the 6 principles of Gestalt Theory.
Project 2. Choosing one principle of Gestalt Theory, I created a black and white design that illustrates the principle using an animal.
Project 3. We went through the process of making 16 line thumbnails, then took the best and made them into roughs. Afterward, we took the roughs and made them into our final line composition.
Bloodbath - Polyphia feat. Chino Moreno | FanMade MV
I filmed and edited this short fan-made music video for Polyphia's song "Bloodbath," blending footage from their live performance in Australia with scenes I filmed. In this video, I wanted to capture how listening to Polyphia's music feels like being transported into their live show.
This visual journey is my tribute to the band's dynamic energy and intricate melodies, showcasing how their music can transport you into another world.
Scott Lepage Neurotica Solo w/ my hand-drawn Ghibli animations
Using Procreate Dreams, I hand-animated Ghibli drawings and incorporated them into a Scott Lepage video.
Canvas of Tranquility
Canvas of Tranquility is a brief visual journey into the serene beauty of nature, guided by the artistic spirit of Claude Monet. Using generative A.I.,the film transforms selected scenes into Monet-inspired paintings. Viewers are taken through landscapes of tranquil beauty and vibrant colors, offering an immersive experience that merges the realms of art and nature.
