About me

Award winning commercial Director based in Bangkok with 5 years industry experience. I have recently founded the company ‘Best Played Loud’ in order to create a brand for my freelance work in addition to acting as a production company for narrative projects. I started shooting and editing content for Youtube using Premiere at 14, and have been expanding my knowledge and expertise since then.
