About me
+++ Please include a message with your contact request. I would like to know why you want to contact me. The requests without a message will be rejected, sorry! +++ As an award-winning self-shooting filmmaker, video editor, and colorist with 2D motion design expertise, I craft impactful short documentaries and brand films that resonate across platforms. My passion lies in creating engaging content – trailers, teasers, commercials, and TV shows – that captivates audiences and drives results. Throughout my career, I’ve collaborated with renowned clients, including Lenovo, Mosaicoon, Pond5, Impact Hub, Dokout, Saint Gobain, and Seminal Film. These collaborations have allowed me to deliver exceptional videos that have even been featured on Condé Nast Live. Driven by a storytelling spirit, I believe that films have the power to connect with people on an emotional level and inspire action. I approach each project with a fresh perspective, working closely with clients to understand their vision and bring it to life in a way that exceeds expectations. My work has been featured on broadcast, cinema, and the web, and I have collaborated with reputable clients such as Lenovo, Mosaicoon, Pond5, Impact Hub, Dokout, Saint Gobain, and Seminal Film. I am also experienced in remote post-production, utilizing platforms such as Frame.io, Mega, and Slack for both revisions and communication. If you have a job or gig offer for me, please don't hesitate to reach out.
