About me
I am a writer and an actor with roots in theatre with skills in set design, production and sales.
I supported my film projects and a spell of study at the actors studio in NYC by selling fashion collections around the globe during Paris, London & NY Fashion Weeks;
I implemented visual concepts in stores, window displays and related each brand objectives to it’s audiences, clients included: VALENTINO, LANVIN, ALEXANDER WANG, MCQUEEN, COMME DES GARÇONS etc.
In recent years I focused solely on writing, learned fundamentals of screenwriting and got invited to participate in a writing programme.
As a storyteller I’d like to continue on a path of discovery, fiction and lasting impressions.
I hope to find work and mentors that will help me hone my skills and finesse my vision within art/creative direction department; eventually advance to a substantial vocation of a Film Art Director and work closely with a tv/film director on set.
