About

I’m a digital creator and immersive media designer who focuses on XR production, projection mapping, and atmospheric digital art. Through my brand RZN8, I make digital work that combines storytelling, emotion, and strong technical design.

At Miami University, I helped shape the XR Stage and worked across the Emerging Technology in Business & Design program to support immersive content, motion graphics, and student AV projects. I also contributed to large public installations for BLINK Cincinnati 2022 and 2024, creating projection-mapped visuals and atmospheric digital pieces for city displays.

Outside of installation work, I create 4K to 8K 3D visuals for freelance clients. I focus on abstract digital art, motion graphics, and music-video style visuals. My work includes animated loops, scene builds, and stylized sequences for artists, brands, and creators who want bold and immersive digital aesthetics.

Everything I make under RZN8 is built around creating experiences that feel resonant, intentional, and visually rich.
