Senior editor, film director, and post-production lead with 14 years of experience across documentaries, science and sustainability explainers, branded content, music videos, large-screen live show audiovisual, institutional films, commercials, and VFX/motion design. I help creative teams—remotely or on set—turn complex ideas into clear, emotionally precise films through storytelling, technical rigor, and artistic leadership. I shape editorial beats, build motion systems, and make compositing feel invisible, while keeping collaboration smooth from the first cut to final delivery. I translate feedback into creative action, protect story and assets within budgets and schedules, and approach moving images as a language that needs rhythm, cohesion, and intention to create real meaning and sensation.
