I'm an Austin-based content creator, novelist (rep. by Trident Media Group), and poet (Frontier Poetry, Stirring, more) with an MFA in writing (NYU) and an artistic eye for visual narrative. As the founder of SYLVdesigns, I create reels that blend strategy with high-level aesthetics, including a reel that has reached 840K+ views and continues to grow. I approach short-form video as a kind of compressed novel that moves like a poem. My videopoem "Now, the Living" (2026) received an Honorable Mention from the Athens International Monthly Art Film Festival in the experimental film category.
