About

I’m a filmmaker and videographer from Ukraine, currently based in Switzerland, working as a Videographer / Editor / AI Creator. I create end-to-end video content — from concept development to final delivery — combining cinematic storytelling, hands-on production and AI-enhanced workflows.
I have over 5 years of professional experience across commercial, cultural and NGO sectors. My work includes music videos, short films, documentaries, event coverage, social impact and experimental AI-driven video projects. I’ve collaborated with NGOs, cultural institutions, production companies and creative platforms, adapting quickly to different formats, budgets and creative challenges.
What differentiates me from other filmmakers is my ability to work independently across the full production cycle, while also integrating AI tools as a creative extension rather than a gimmick. I focus on strong visual narratives, human stories and contemporary aesthetics, and I’m especially interested in projects at the intersection of technology, culture and social impact.
