I thrive on planning and execution across concept, campaign strategy, production, and post, while coordinating teams, stakeholders, schedules, and logistics to keep everything on track. I bring a strong film and content skillset, including directing-of-thought development through production planning and delivering cohesive visuals and storytelling. I’ve produced short films from festival pitch through submission, managed budget and workflow across pre-production, shoot, and post, and worked with professional editing tools such as Adobe Premiere Pro, Canva, and DaVinci Resolve to ensure projects land with the right aesthetic and emotional tone.
