I am a dedicated and innovative self-taught 3D artist and VR world builder. Since March 2021, I have been exploring the exciting field of virtual experiences, experimenting with hosting and developing virtual environments under the Vitality ReAwakened brand. My work aims to create engaging and interactive digital spaces that captivate audiences and offer unique virtual experiences.

"Color in the Gray": VR Experience for Mental Health Awareness
"Color in the Gray" is an educational VRChat experience that I developed with the Vital Storytellers team. This virtual world tells the story of Perrin Galloway, a young man transitioning from a life of apathy to one filled with unexpected color and hope. Addressing the issue of mild depression and apathy, the narrative aims to promote mental health and well-being.
Competing against over 1,200 individuals in more than 250 teams from 70+ countries, "Color in the Gray" earned finalist honors in Level 2 of the SDG Global Prize and VR Competition. This recognition highlights the project's potential to create engaging and meaningful virtual environments.
Vitality ReAwakened: Virtual Community for Personal Growth and Well-being
Vitality ReAwakened is an online community that I founded. From March 2021 to March 2023, we hosted over 300 events aimed at rekindling joy, wonder, and vitality in life. During this time, it was among the top 20 most popular channels in Altspace before transitioning to VRChat due to Altspace's closure.
Leveraging my skills in VR world-building, I created engaging virtual environments for a variety of activities—from aromatherapy education and meditation sessions to movie nights and goal-setting workshops. Currently, Vitality ReAwakened is on a hiatus with fewer active events, but it continues to provide a supportive environment where members can connect, learn, and thrive in custom-made virtual spaces.
This project highlights my growing skills in world-building, virtual event hosting, and community development, pointing to my potential to create meaningful virtual experiences.
VitalCon 2024: Virtual Convention for Self-Discovery and Transformation
VitalCon 2024 was a multi-day virtual convention that I created, blending technology with personal growth. Held from January 3-6, attendees participated in various events designed to inspire through the power of dreaming.
Hosted in VRChat and available online, VitalCon 2024 featured a range of workshops, gaming experiences, meditative sessions, and discussions. Highlights included the "Color in the Gray" world tour, interactive role-playing workshops, and sound healing sessions. The free-to-attend convention also offered networking opportunities, inviting participants to connect and collaborate with like-minded individuals globally.
VitalCon underscored my growing ability to craft meaningful virtual experiences. My skill in VR world-building was central to the convention's engaging environments, showcasing my potential in event management and community nurturing. This virtual space for self-discovery aimed to leave attendees rejuvenated and inspired.
