"The biggest shift in my life was changing a simple 'that's cool' reaction into something more. A thought provoking reaction, a 'what else?' Since that moment, I craved creating art with a purpose."At ten, Dash became a published author, launching his educational poetry-coloring book for young artists, Pencil Paper Poetry in stores and on Amazon. In 2019, he became an official TEDx Youth Ambassador for TEDxGrandPark, where he was chosen for "-his passion about connecting people to new ways of thinking through shared experiences." During a summer at Ringling College of Art and Design, he lived a dream in directing his short film with a full crew, that moment inspired him to film more and write twice as much since. As a creative consultant Dash has lent his perspective for well over eight years. He provided insight only a young adult could, and can back up the method too.
