About

I’m a creative based in New Zealand with a passion for storytelling through video, design, and content creation. My work spans video editing, branding, and social media content, from short-form reels and campaign teasers to longer-form content for YouTube.

I enjoy projects that allow me to combine technical skills with creativity, whether that’s experimenting with transitions, refining colour and sound, or shaping authentic stories.

I always want to do everything with good intentions and good passion. I believe that without these two values, there is a strong drive for me to finish my tasks and be content with what I am doing.
