I'm a videographer and motion designer with a strong foundation in video editing and post-production, having collaborated with agencies and brands across Europe and beyond. Over the years I’ve produced infomercials, motion graphics, live broadcasts, and lately, I've been all-in on social media content (DR videos), always aiming to tell clear, engaging stories through visuals. I currently teach graphic animation at ESMAD and stay curious about new tools and techniques, continuously updating my skills to deliver fresh, effective content for clients and learners alike.
