👁️ EYEBALLLLL 👁️
For the Colony High school titan regiment 2025 field show Manifestique, I was asked to create an eyeball that could look around the field and interact with the show. The eyeball is 36” in diameter, is 9’ tall, and folds in half to become its own packaging/transport solution.
Throughout the season the eyeball fell and broke two times requiring emergency eye surgery, in the end the project came out spectacular. I’m very proud of the titan regiment for sweeping CSBC state finals.

For the 2025 winterguard season, Colony high school Colorguard director @sammiefaye08 tasked me with making a 7.5 foot tall balloon dog matching the one done by Jeffery Koons on zero budget. After months of planning, I present Geoffrey(the guards name for him). At 7.5’ tall 6’ wide and about 7 inches deep. It was done in bas relief which gave us the 3D effect while significantly cutting down on volume. It is entirely made of recycled parts. Cardboard, a garage pole, and paper mache.

The 2022-2023 colony marching band’s field show is themed around Diamonds. I designed and created the props. The concept I came up with is four 12ft tall LED-lit conduit structures that collapse into a diamond shape and has lighting effects sequenced to the music played by the band. After designing it in Shapr3d, the CAD program I use, I began thinking of how I could execute it. Even though I designed it, I couldn’t do it alone. The band parents were composed of a diverse community with different backgrounds. There were metal workers, engineers, Human resource managers, warehouse managers, and artists. As a high schooler, I got the opportunity to lead this team and work alongside these parents from the band community, and we all shared a common goal of improving the field show. Nearly every night of the week, we would spend hours building, constructing, fixing, and improving the props. Even though I was a 17-year-old teenager, these more experienced makers accepted me as one of them. I had earned their respect which made me more confident about my making abilities. They trusted my skills and competencies. Every parent contributed to crucial aspects of the prop. It was a truly collaborative experience.

The most meaningful project I’ve worked on is four 12ft tall light towers used as a marching band prop which collapse into a diamond shape and light up synced to the music the band plays.
This prop represents my ideology as a maker. I developed an idea based on a prompt that will better a community: communicate with a group of collaborators, create a prototype, watch it fail, create a fix, watch it fail, solve problems as they arise, and finally have a working creation I can share with the world. Making is an iterative design process; failures and setbacks are going to happen, but what matters is the response. I try to approach life as an iterative process, where instead of letting failures stop me, I learn from my failures and push forward for the next attempt.
For my 2023 winterguard show entitled Eye-spy. My coach asked for a giant magnifying glass we could use as a prop! Mostly 3d printed ! Thank you to all the parents who helped! This was a great season! #wcwg #eyespy #wcwg2023 #3dpriting
