I'm a multi-disciplinary creative working across film, photography, and digital media - with experience spanning the full production pipeline. From pre-production to post, I’ve developed a hands-on, self-taught approach since childhood, later refined through formal study and real-world projects. My work includes narrative and commercial content, short films, social media edits, branded visuals, and event coverage. I’ve taken on roles from directing and cinematography to editing, sound design, and motion graphics which are always led by a love for storytelling and strong visual identity. Alongside film, I have a strong foundation in graphic design and visual branding, with a focus on creating emotionally resonant, visually striking content. I thrive both independently and in collaborative environments, and I bring creative problem-solving, adaptability, and intention to every project. Outside of media, I represent Kho Kho England, the national team for a traditional Asian sport. I competed in the 2025 World Cup, an experience that strengthened my ability to perform under pressure and contribute within high-intensity teams with discipline. I’m also actively involved in HSS (UK), where I regularly contribute to community-led events and initiatives. Through this, I’ve developed a strong sense of responsibility, teamwork, and the ability to guide and support others which are qualities I carry into every creative project. Currently co-running Oracle Studios UK, a creative production company focused on developing visually strong and emotionally grounded projects that connect with audiences. I’m now seeking opportunities where I can apply my creative skillset, hands-on production experience, and passion for impactful storytelling. I’m especially keen to connect with professionals and studios in film, media, and content creation to explore freelance roles and early-career opportunities.
