I'm a freelance filmmaker and video creator with a hands-on, all-rounder approach. I shoot, edit, and animate, covering everything from bigger brand productions to quick-turnaround event captures and social content. I own lots of camera, lighting, and audio gear, so I can hit the ground running on most shoots, whether it's in a studio or out on location. I work closely with brands, agencies, and startups to create content that’s smart, engaging, and built to perform, always bringing a practical mindset and creative edge to every project.
