Most people call me Cole, some "Sparky", but for the past couple years I've been developing my online alias; dubbed "Sparkytude". The name was born from a combination of my last name and loving Bratz dolls. The commercials for the dolls would shout, "We've got the Brattitude". I loved the ownership behind the emotion, and turning it into an identity of sorts. So with that, I began Sparkytude, the person and the brand, with my thesis in 2022, and have continued to identify with it ever since. I think the concept of ownership is something most important to people. 

I consider myself to be a fanboy of watching how culture develops through entertainment consumtion. From Bratz dolls to video games, media has shaped who I am today. The music within digital media is something I've always taken note of. I've always loved discovering new music and watching music videos. Imbuing a sense of "musical" stylization into my work is important to me. Being a modeler and animator allows me to make my own vitrual worlds where I imagine and idealize fantasies through my art. 

Developing a sense of style through creative work is something I highly enjoy. My dream is to work on campaigns and projects as a creative director. I crave the feeling of bringing together a myriad of creative under one roof to make wonderful animations, videos, and games. When that finally happens, I'll know I've finally got "that Brattitude".
