FIVE YEARS AT RISD SUMMED UP IN ONE SENTENCE: BE OF SERVICE TO HUMANITY. From cold-approaching strangers at the RISD dining hall "The Met" to all-consuming foundation-year studios, building VR worlds at the CurioXR internship, making games at @brownrisdgamedev, volunteering at @betterworldxdesign, writing for @volume__1 and helping co-design the NASA rover with @wendytang2021, @adhvik_aggarwal, and @z_rraye.ryu, there's no doubt that this journey has wholly transformed me.

I feel gratitude for every professor who shared with me their wisdom, insight, and gave me direction. To every classmate who inspired me with their novel perspective, and everyone in the community who made me smile, including the chefs at @risddining, @therisdmet and Portfolio and everyone at DSS that helped me in the toughest of times, I truly appreciate you.

I entered as a student with many unexplored artistic interests and lots of potential waiting to be brought to life. Thank you @risdid and @risd.fav, you opened up so many doors and learning opportunities. I leave as a multi-disciplinary designer ready to tackle software, video, hardware, and human-computer interaction. But I am also humbled by the fact that I'm still figuring things out, and I need to be patient during this transition.

Graduation is a bridge to a new life, jobs, and people. It is a beautiful moment for introspection to align with what you truly want to do, and just do it. All this while adapting and changing course if necessary. If you don't like your job and it's not working out, you switch things and your decisions have a real impact. No one is expecting anyone to follow any rules, but people say these things because they want to help guide you in the correct direction. We're on your side. We're here to help. We have to learn to be open.

Being young, healthy, and free is a gift. So many more opportunities are ahead of us on this journey. To the Class of 2026, thank you. I will never forget. I appreciate, love, admire all of you. I will keep in touch!

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I graduated from @risd1877 on December 12, 2025!

People have asked me how I feel about my future, and honestly I feel grateful and humbled.

Spending 4.5 years at @risd1877 was truly a gift that definitely made me 10X better as an artist, creative, entrepreneur, and friend. I met excellent professors, great classmates, and learned in-depth about the topics I care about. However, I also went through incredibly challenging times outside of school that I had no control over and these taught me to be a much stronger and compassionate person.

I feel more confident than excited, but I also recognize my short-term goals on pursuing YouTube full-time will not be granted for free; instead, they will require great persistence, discipline, commitment, focus, and unreasonable volume. It's a great growth opportunity!

At the same time, I want to thank all of my friends for supporting me, @kidw050, @_a_ben_, @calwaytena, @wendytang2021, @prodydock, @aryangupta541, @zoegoldemberg, @jetgresh, and my classmates at the Brown Anthropology for Global Leaders course @lermanjacob and @boba.tea4u, my family, and my professors. It's been a gift to spend my time at @risd1877 (and Brown University) with you.

I do have goals for myself for 2026 but I also recognize it's a grace period since I haven't uploaded consistent long-form videos since 4 years ago, meaning I can't expect to automatically blow up and go viral. It will be something that I will earn through deep work and dedication.

I wish all of you a warm, loving Christmas with your family, friends, or yourself and I wanted to say that I'm rooting for you and believe in you! I want us all to win!

For all my friends finishing their degree at @risd1877 and Brown University, I wish you all the best! You got this!

In deep gratitude,

Grateful for @calwaytena, @prodydock, @wendytang2021, @_a_ben_, @diego.falcon__, @_juanfalcon_, @kidw050, and @miniminuteman!

Currently...
Built V1 of @enchiridionapp https://www.enchiridionapp.com in stealth.

My main thing: producing content following a 60-day challenge of daily posting.

I was writing a play about bringing dinosaurs and deep time to life. Lots of comedy, humor and giggles.

Planning @enchiridionapp videos for June 2026.

Enjoying the last few moments in my Anthropology Course at @brownu, @risd_astro NASA x RISD Rover Studio and AI BEYOND HUMAN @risd1877. @risd.fav also helped with my CGI instructor's consistent feedback.

Thank you to @risddining for allowing me to be in nutritional ketosis for 9 days straight and counting. I feel 10x better.

Thank you @dhruviesmoothie, @aalbertoariveraa, @jose_17vargas, @luisandlearn, @hhudsonhale, @gresh.studio, @noah.m.talbott, @reenostus for inspiring me daily.

Praying for happiness and peace, and a path free of suffering.

Welcome to my world!

Wishing you the best,
