I turn memories, culture, and craft into wearable art—every sneaker becomes a story worth lacing up.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I enjoy making wearable pieces of art. I am a multi-medium artist who always is pushing the boundaries of what a custom pair of sneakers can become.
Where do you find inspiration?My sneaker art is fueled by culture, memories, and community—every pair becomes a canvas where storytelling, nostalgia, and craftsmanship collide.
What would you do with $25,000?$25,000 would let me bring my creative world to life. It would fund a platform that protects sneaker culture, expand hands‑on art labs, launch a storytelling universe, and grow my Big Brothers Big Sisters workshops. This support turns scattered ideas into a connected ecosystem that inspires creativity, confidence, and community.
