About me
I am an award-winning animation director, producer, writer, and senior artist, passionate about creating innovative productions that resonate deeply with young audiences. My animations have been screened at over 250 international film festivals, winning 45 prizes, broadcasted on TV channels and streaming platforms, and have amassed more than 30 million views on social media. For over 7 years, I've been creating projects from concept to completion, managing creative projects, budgets, and leading teams of global creatives. Recognized by the United Nations, I was invited as a top filmmaker to present my movie about the story of refugee children at the UN Headquarters. I shared the background stories of my animated shorts on the TEDx stage and at several film festivals in the UK, Greece, Pakistan, Georgia, Turkey and Spain.
