Industry Experience

Media & Entertainment, Professional Services, Other
    uniE621 Minimal food study
    A minimal visual study of two core elements of a coffee shop: coffee and pastry. Stripped back to their essentials, the focus is on form, texture and balance, allowing simplicity and precision to reveal their character.
    paper Brand Identity / Tone-Setting Film

    A short film created to help define and establish a brand’s visual tone and character.

    Working closely with the client, I shaped the look, pacing and atmosphere to create a clear, consistent visual language across moving image.

    uniE621 Graphic Food Visual
    A bold and graphic food image designed to feel sharp and immediate, while remaining natural and honest. Shot in daylight using real, imperfect ingredients to reflect the brand’s vibrant yet grounded identity.
    paper An Event / Brand-Activation Film

    A fast-paced, documentary-style film capturing the energy of a live brand activation.

    Shot in real conditions, balancing responsiveness and visual clarity while working closely with teams on the ground.

    uniE621 An Observational Portrait
    For me, portraiture begins with forming a warm, genuine connection with the subject. By keeping direction minimal, the focus is on natural presence and unposed expression rather than performance.
