I am a composer and sound designer working across film and music, with a focus on crafting immersive, emotionally resonant soundscapes.

I recently released my debut album, blending cinematic textures with electronic influences, and directed my first short film — bringing my passion for storytelling full circle. I’m always looking to connect with filmmakers and creatives who value the power of sound as a driving force in visual media.
