About

I am an AI Creative Director, Motion Graphic Designer, and Video Editor with more than seven years of experience creating high-end video content, VFX, CGI, and animated visual stories. I enjoy combining traditional creative techniques with generative AI to develop cinematic concepts, storyboards, characters, environments, voiceovers, and polished final productions that are visually engaging and aligned with each brand’s goals.

I have led projects from concept through post-production, working across 2D and 3D animation, compositing, video editing, visual effects, and AI-generated content. I am passionate about creative direction, design thinking, and building efficient hybrid workflows that bring ambitious ideas to life with a professional and impactful finish.
