I’m a creative professional with a strong background in video production, graphic design, and photography. My work spans everything from filming, photographing, and editing to layout design, branding, and digital graphics. I thrive in creative environments and am always eager to learn new things. Open-minded, positive, ethical, adaptable, and detail-focused, with a great time management, I work just as well independently as I do in a team. I also pursue yoga and community-focused projects, designing posters, infographics, and visual content for personal and community initiatives, and exploring the intersection of art and consciousness through conceptual projects.
