THA HOME TEAM IS MY PERSONAL MEDIA BRAND THROUGH WHICH I CAN EXPRESS MY ARTISTIC IDENTITY VIA GRAPHIC DESIGN, MUSIC, ART, AND SHORT-FORM VIDEO. THA HOME TEAM ENCAPSULATES THE FEELING I WANT PEOPLE TO EXPERIENCE WHENEVER THEY SEE MY WORK. I WANT PEOPLE TO FEEL "AT HOME" TO PUT IT SIMPLY. I ALSO DREW INSPIRATION FROM "THE HOME TEAM ADVANTAGE" AND THE ENDEARMENT PEOPLE AND ARTISTS CHANNEL WHEN THEY ARE ABLE TO WORK IN THEIR HOME ENVIRONMENT.
AFTER CREATING THA HOME TEAM, I KNEW I WANTED TO DO PROJECTS THAT BOTH EXEMPLIFIED MY CREATIVE IDEAS AND PUSHED ME TO BECOME CONSISTENT. WITH THIS IN MIND AT THE TOP OF 2022 I DECIDED TO START THA MIX, A CURATED PLAYLIST I RELEASE ON A WEEKLY BASIS FEATURING MUSIC FROM NEW ARTISTS AND A COVER DESIGNED BY ME.
ALONG WITH THA MIX, I'VE BEEN ABLE TO CREATE A DIVERSE CATALOGUE OF MEDIA THROUGH THA HOME TEAM THAT INCLUDES SHORT FILMS, ALBUM PROMOTION, MERCHANDISE, AND MORE. WITH THIS BRAND I'VE REALIZED HOW POSSIBLE IT IS TO MAKE ANY IDEA COME TO LIFE WITH WORK AND FOCUS ON EXECUTION.
ABOVE ARE MORE EXAMPLES OF VISUALS I'VE MADE TO ADD TO THE AESTHETIC OF "THA MIX" AND THA HOME TEAM OVERALL

ST PATRICK'S DAY IS ONE OF THE MOST CELEBRATED HOLIDAYS AT MY ALMA MATER, MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY. THE GREEN ADORNED BY MANY ON THIS GREAT DAY ALSO SERVES AS ONE OF THE SCHOOL COLORS, SO IN SPIRIT OBSERVERS ON CAMPUS CONSIDER THIS A DAY TO PARTY AND TAKE TIME OFF FROM THE STRESS OF CLASS. WITH THIS SHIRT RELEASE I WAS ABLE TO PAY HOMAGE TO A DAY THAT GAVE ME SOME OF MY BEST COLLEGE MEMORIES.
