I create art because it is a universal language I use to communicate beyond words, connect cultures, and understand the world.

My favorite type of art to create is animation. It allows me to give my drawings life. Combining storytelling, drawing and emotions in one piece, allows me to create worlds that feel real and inspired.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in people. I’m drawn to the human connection, how people think, feel, and relate to each other. Everyday interactions and personal struggles give me ideas for stories and help me create characters that are relatable and honest.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use the $25,000 to help fund my college education. I’m currently a junior applying to art schools, and pursuing my artistic career. Animation is something I care deeply about and it’s a long term goal I’ve been working toward with a lot of dedication and persistence. This support would ease a real financial burden on my family and allow me to focus fully on reaching the future I’ve been striving for my whole life.
