Hi there,
I'm Knight.
Originally from Burlington, Vermont, I went to art school in Florida to pursue film and get away from the freezing cold winter. Post-college I spent a few years working as an editor in New York. But, after 4 years and a global pandemic I moved out to LA to see more trees, skate everyday, and build out my current companies West Coast Studio. Bigger picture, I just want to make as many cool things as possible.
