About

VFX graduate and content producer with hands-on experience across the full production pipeline — from scripting and on-set coordination to video editing, motion graphics, and social media publishing. Having worked on commercial campaigns for global brands, an anime and gaming content platform, and as volunteer crew on a wildlife feature film shot alongside Academy Award-winner David Stump ASC, I bring both technical capability and genuine storytelling instinct to every project.

Multilingual and culturally adaptable, I thrive in collaborative environments and care deeply about creating content that reaches and resonates with real audiences.
