I’m drawn to creating art that captures both structure and color—whether through photography, woodworking, or bold, vibrant designs. I enjoy blending natural textures with striking visuals, turning simple moments and materials into something meaningful and expressive.
Where do you find inspiration?I’m inspired by the impact I can have on others. My kids are my world, and creating things that bring happiness, comfort, or beauty to others gives me purpose and fuels my creativity.
What would you do with $25,000?Winning would be a launch point. I’d scale my creative work, upgrade my tools, and build something lasting—art that reaches people, tells stories, and creates real impact while securing a strong future for my kids.
