About

I am a senior offline film editor with more than 25 years of experience shaping visual stories across feature films, commercials, branded content, documentaries, corporate films, and music videos. I specialize in narrative structure, pacing, performance selection, and visual rhythm, and I enjoy turning complex footage and creative briefs into clear, engaging final cuts. My feature-film credits include Fly By Night and Housekeeping, both directed by Zahir Omar.

I have collaborated with directors, creative agencies, producers, and multidisciplinary teams across Southeast Asia and international markets. Alongside editing, I bring experience in post-production coordination, line producing, scheduling, client communication, and editorial problem-solving. I am comfortable managing demanding deadlines while maintaining a high standard of craft and ensuring that every project stays aligned with its creative goals.
