I’m a dynamic freelance videographer with more than a decade of experience creating high-impact commercial videos, brand promos, tourism content, music videos, safety training productions, and therapeutic visual storytelling. I handle full-cycle production—from scripting and 4K/multi-cam filming (including drone and underwater work) to professional editing in Final Cut Pro, sound design, and AI-enhanced workflow improvements. My background as a musician/DJ and six years working in music-based occupational therapy with people with disabilities, veterans, and youth give me empathetic, narrative-driven depth that resonates with audiences. I’ve been recognised with awards that celebrate creative work at the intersection of film, music, and social impact. I’m open to international projects and collaborations, with a track record of delivering fast, engaging visuals that boost bookings, social reach, and learning outcomes. I’m fluent in English and German and thrive in remote or on-location environments, always aiming to fuse technical excellence with human-centred storytelling.
