AI Director & Artist. Creative at the edge of control. Making stuff with machines before they fully take over. Films, stills, campaigns, chaos. For brands, agencies, production companies, VFX studios, and the algorithm. Some went viral. Some won stuff. Some just confused people in a good way. Repped by Paranoid BR, The Moon Unit and Atlantico Content. Powered by caffeine, family love, chlorine and the occasional existential crisis. Living at the intersection of tech and storytelling. No number though.
