About

I create bold, purposeful design that connects through motion graphics, branding, and storytelling. With 15+ years’ experience from startups to global agencies, my work covers motion design, editing, colour, brand films, and digital content. Guided by simplicity and impact, I’m currently exploring new ways of expressing my skills through AI workflows, 3D motion and more.

I’m driven by clarity and storytelling, blending creative craft with technical execution. I thrive under tight deadlines and love collaborating with producers, editors, and cross-disciplinary teams to deliver visuals that resonate and perform.
