I’m a Creative Director, Director and Editor with more than ten years in advertising and filmmaking. I’ve created commercials, branded content, music videos, art films, short films and social content. I also run my own production company, which gives me a strong understanding of the entire process - from concept and production through to the final edit. I love storytelling and turning long-form material into fast-paced, engaging Shorts that people actually want to watch.
