ABOUT MILES
My name is Miles and I'm a creator. I'm passionate about developing new skills and techniques and expanding my range: from art to business, television to radio. I'm continuing on a path to better my surroundings and leave the world a better place than when I entered it. I have three realms of expertise in creating: traditional, 3D modeling/printing and multimedia; with a focus on photography, music, laser cutting/engraving, filmmaking and editing. I am always willing to broaden my perspective as well those around me and refine my craft.
