I excel at storytelling, pacing, and emotional impact, with a knack for hooks and grabbing viewer attention in the first few seconds. I blend traditional post-production workflows with AI-driven motion design, including 2D/3D animation in Blender, and I thrive in fast-paced production environments collaborating with creative and marketing teams to deliver polished, platform-ready outputs.
