About

I am a multi-disciplinary creative specialist with 7+ years across CGI, animation, and high-end digital production, now leading in generative AI for imagery and video.

Trained in narrative production on projects like Netflix’s Queen Sono and national CGI ad campaigns, I blend classical storytelling and production craft—composition, lighting, anatomy, pacing, dramaturgy—with fluency across modern GenAI tools. I thrive on producing production-ready still imagery with Photoshop post-production, crafting cinematic AI video sequences for vertical content, and contributing to traditional 3D pipelines. Known for fast iteration, meticulous documentation, and delivering work that clients actually want to use.
