I am a Singapore-based storyteller with over 10 years of experience editing a wide range of film and video content including short and long-form narratives, documentaries, music videos, reality shows, brand films, and commercials. My work is rooted in non-conformity, intuition, experimentation, and a sensitivity to spatial rhythm and form. I am passionate about regaining autonomy through moving images, as showcased in my experimental short “exits / entrances” made during the Apichatpong Creators Lab 2023. I have been fortunate to work with diverse projects such as a feature documentary chronicling artist Milenko Prvacki’s life, and a feature narrative film “Orang Ikan” premiered internationally and now streaming on Netflix and Shudder. Outside of filmmaking, I enjoy boxing and running, finding balance by physically working out problems or fleeing into nature.
