3D Work and Sculptures

Metal Fan - 2021

This piece is an early exploration of welding, combining a variety of techniques into a single project as a way to experiment and build new skills. I wanted to challenge myself by creating a sculpture that was not only artistic but also fully functional.

The fan has been retrofitted using a recycled motor paired with a fresh blade, giving new life to salvaged components. The body was fabricated from scrap metal, with all structural elements MIG welded together. The front features a plasma-cut floral design, adding contrast to the industrial materials and highlighting the balance between utility and artistry.

This project reflects my interest in repurposing discarded materials while exploring the creative possibilities of metal fabrication.

The Bole - 2022

The Bole is a 3D modeling project that challenged me to push my abilities in designing organic architecture inspired by the natural environment. Set within the context of Griffy Lake and Nature Preserve, the project was driven by the relationship between the built environment and the surrounding landscape. Every design decision was made with the site in mind, ensuring the structure complemented rather than competed with its setting.

The building was conceived as a flexible, community-oriented space capable of adapting to a variety of uses, allowing it to serve visitors, educators, and the local community while responding to the changing needs of the preserve. Its organic forms draw from natural growth patterns, creating an architectural language that feels rooted in the landscape.

The Bole reflects my artistic mission of creating thoughtful, functional design that strengthens the connection between people, place, and material. Whether working in digital modeling or physical fabrication, I am driven by a desire to balance creativity with purpose, transforming ideas into spaces and objects that are both meaningful and useful while encouraging a deeper appreciation for the environments they inhabit.

Mural- Uncommon Beauty Bar, Kokomo, IN - 2023

Commissioned for a mural in Kokomo, Indiana, this project began with a simple goal from the client: create something colorful, welcoming, and inviting. Those ideas evolved into a vibrant rainbow collage with a hand reaching into the color, a gesture that evokes curiosity, inspiration, and the joy of embracing whimsy.

Community Mural - The Children's Museum of Indianapolis 2025-2026

Created as part of Tiana's Joyous Adventure at the Children's Museum, this collaborative community mural celebrates the vibrant traditions, music, and festivities of Mardi Gras and New Orleans culture. The mural's illustrated outline invited guests of all ages to contribute by collaging small pieces of colorful tissue paper, transforming each section into a mosaic of individual creativity.

Inspired by Tiana's message that everyone brings their own "special spice," every participant added their unique touch to the artwork, becoming part of a shared celebration. The mural was created one panel at a time as museum guests visited the exhibit. Each completed panel was then joined with the others, gradually revealing a larger picture that reflected the power of community, collaboration, and the joy of creating something beautiful together.

Puppets - Indy Drag Theater- A Drag Parody of SIX- 2026

As Prop Master for IDT's drag parody of SIX, the director requested seven puppets, one for each queen and the swing, and gave me complete creative freedom in choosing the puppet style. My previous puppet-building experience had focused on exaggerated creatures and animals, such as the giant moose I created for Evil Dead, so I saw this project as an opportunity to challenge myself by creating more human-like characters inspired by the expressive style of the Muppets.

Because the puppets' reveal was sudden and brief, it was important that audiences immediately recognized each puppet as its corresponding queen. I focused on capturing the actresses' distinctive hairstyles, makeup, costumes, and personalities while exaggerating their features just enough to embrace the campy spirit of the production.

The puppets' bodies were sewn from fabric and filled with polyester fiberfill to create soft, pillow-like forms for the torsos and arms. Their heads were sculpted from EVA foam and covered in felt, allowing for expressive facial features while maintaining a cohesive, handcrafted aesthetic. Each puppet was dressed in a custom felt and fabric costume that closely replicated the performers' stage costumes.

In addition to the puppets, I also crafted handheld microphones and custom headset microphones for each queen, as well as matching headset mics for the band members. These smaller props helped unify the production's visual style while adding polished, performance-ready details throughout the show.
