Crafting Visual Narratives
As an adaptable filmmaker with a foundational background in Communication and Cinema, supplemented by a Certificate in Directing, I bring to the table over five years of experience in the film and music video industries. This journey is highlighted by a portfolio that spans over 30 diverse projects, showcasing a blend of creative talent and a knack for turning visions into reality.
My approach is holistic, prioritizing not just the artistic aspects but also the meticulous planning and execution that underpin successful productions. Beyond direct filmmaking, my expertise extends into strategic planning and leadership, evidenced by a significant role as a co-founder of a startup. This experience has imbued me with a deep understanding of team dynamics, project management, and the importance of fostering a culture of resilience and adaptability.
My ambition is to leverage this rich tapestry of skills—ranging from creative execution to strategic project management and entrepreneurial leadership—in crafting compelling visual narratives that resonate on a global scale.
