I'm Owen
I’m a high school student in Los Angeles who likes basketball, photography, fashion, and starting new projects. I’m interested in entrepreneurship, branding, and the creative side of business, and this site is a place to share some of the things I’ve been working on.
Sports Photography & Videography
@FlicksbyOG
From practices and park takeovers to tournaments and game days, I document the full experience of sports. I capture athletes in action, the preparation behind the scenes, and the fans and community that shape the moment. Through photography, videography, and media day content, I help players and teams tell their story for recruitment, branding, and beyond.
My work has recently been featured on Overtime and OT 7 Instagram with 10 million + followers and in the Santa Monica Sun newspaper.
Also, I will be shooting the Hellstar x Adidas high school football lineman challenge events in spring 2027, highlighting the collaboration between streetwear innovator Hellstar and football equipment and gear leader Adidas.
Featured Gallery: Veniceball League — Cam Wilder Park Takeover (September 2024)
These images were selected for a gallery exhibit benefiting Palisades fire relief efforts. The Veniceball park takeover photos capture the moment when basketball, social media, and community intersected in real time. I focused on capturing not just Cam Wilder’s presence on the court, but the energy around him — fans gathering, phones raised, conversations happening off to the side, the shared excitement in the air.
As the only artist under 18 featured in this gallery, I expressed how sports photography can document culture as much as competition and that creative work can also serve a larger purpose.
Pacifica Basketball Media
& Social Branding @PCHSHoops
I launched and run the social media for my high school basketball program, creating posts that capture game moments, player highlights, and team culture. I handle graphic design, photo editing, scheduling, and branding to keep the page consistent and engaging throughout the season. It has strengthened community support and deepened my interest in sports storytelling.

BBB ELITE
@bbb_elite_
Bounce Back Boys Basketball
I founded BBB Elite to bring student-athletes from different high schools together to compete, connect, and have fun without pressure. We compete in tournaments with peer coaches who manage substitutions, discuss in-game strategy, and help organize play.
I oversee player recruitment, communication, registration, scheduling, branding, uniform design, and social media, as well as play in the games. I wanted BBB Elite to be about confidence, collaboration, and keeping the love of basketball at the center.
Tech Bridge for Teens (501c) @TechBridgeforTeens
Statement:
I co-founded Tech Bridge for Teens after realizing that students I knew didn’t have reliable access at home to a computer for schoolwork or college applications. We realized we could source retired, donated devices from families and small businesses and get them to the students who need them.
What took our simple idea and developed a nonprofit to serve students across Los Angeles. We’ve raised over $7,500, collected donated laptops and tablets, and partnered with Rotary Clubs, LAUSD, libraries, and community organizations.
Tech Bridge originated from paying attention to problems in my immediate community and doing something about them.

“Tech Bridge made it possible for me to finish my music composition projects at home. I could continue doing what I enjoy.”

“We love that it’s teens helping teens get what they need to succeed. They helped us get a laptop to a student in foster care, preparing for college.”

StarSync
A new way for fans to connect with the celebrities they love through the music that inspires them.
Mission Statement
To bring fans closer to the celebrities they love by giving access to the music that inspires them to be great.
ABOUT
StarSync is an app concept I developed as a final project in my entrepreneurship class for our school’s “Wolf Den” (Shark Tank-style) competition. I noticed that while fans follow athletes and celebrities closely, there’s no easy way to get to know and feel connected to them through their favorite music.
I built a subscription-based concept where users can follow celebrities’ playlists and discover new artists through the music that inspires and motivates them. I created the business plan using an NIL-like payment structure, consumer marketing strategy, and app prototype, and pitched the idea to judges from Meta and GoodRx.
StarSync reflects my interest in music, culture, and building opportunities that connect people in new ways.
LWG is my developing streetwear concept inspired by gratitude, confidence, and kindness. Right now, I’m exploring fashion and brand-building through thrifting, resale, streetwear research, and studying how independent designers create identity through clothing.
I also have a fashion design and business mentor affiliated with Fashion Place, a multi-brand agency representing over 25 designers across Los Angeles, New York, Dallas, and Atlanta. Through this mentorship, I’m learning how brands move from concept to retail, including sourcing, production timelines, pricing, wholesale distribution, store displays, pop-ups, and different ways to market and sell a brand.
As I develop LWG, I’m creating mood boards, studying direct-to-consumer marketing, and gathering design inspiration. My goal is to build a brand that combines meaning, style, and connection.
