hi.
i'm max.

I'm an experimental designer building immersive environments, wearable concepts, and brand spaces. My passion is to turn raw ideas into physical reality — spaces people walk into and forget where they are.

about

I work at the intersection of experimental design and concept art — turning raw ideas into fully realized spaces and objects. From hand-built environments to 3D-rendered apparel concepts, every project is an obsessive exploration of what's possible when you refuse to accept limitations.

Based in Illinois. Available worldwide.

about the project

What happens when you take an ordinary institutional corridor and refuse to let it stay that way? Botanical Wonderland transformed a rec center hallway into a fully immersive garden — every wall, ceiling, and surface covered in layered tissue paper, silk florals, and hand-crafted paper sculptures.

Green walls of layered tissue and ivy crept floor to ceiling. Paper flowers in every size bloomed from walls and doorframes. Hanging wisteria cascaded from above while custom teal-lit panels shifted the entire atmosphere of the space.

the goal was never to decorate the space.
it was to make people forget they were in one.

apparel

about the project

8th Dimension Apparel started as a question: what if clothing could feel like a different dimension? The concept pushed past standard streetwear into something tactile and conceptual — patterns drawn from thermal maps, topographic lines, and contour data translated into wearable form.

From Procreate concept sketches to hand-cut fabric stitched directly onto hoodies, to full 3D Blender renders exploring colorways — this project bridges digital design and physical craft.

about the project

No Place Like Home transformed a rec center corridor into a fully immersive holiday living room — complete with string lights, garland, wrapped gifts, and a hand-built cardboard fireplace that glowed red from the inside.

Every element was fabricated from scratch. The fireplace, complete with stockings, candles, and a bow, was constructed and painted entirely from cardboard. String lights ran the full length of the ceiling while garland wrapped every surface.

the warmth it created was completely real.
