    Showreel 2025

    I’m excited to share my newest reel, simply titled 25.5. A little tongue-in-cheek nod to how we, as creatives, tend to save our files — this being my fifth version of the year (yes, I can be a bit self-critical).

    The reel brings together motion design, 3D, and a touch of video, reflecting my main focus: motion. There’s something about how creativity flows through keyframes that continues to mesmerize me, and this reel is a celebration of that process.

    I’m also introducing a new tagline: “Once Upon a Frame.” As a storyteller at heart, I believe every project begins with an idea — and for me, that’s where the magic starts.
