As a director with a background in traditional video production, motion design, animation, and cutting-edge AI experimentation, my work is fueled by a relentless pursuit of innovation. From the darker, avant-garde aesthetics of music videos like ODDKO's Disobey to AI-driven projects such as Aqua/Aria (Meta Morph AI Film Awards runner-up), I strive to explore unconventional angles and mediums.
In recent years, the rise of AI has opened up exciting new possibilities for me as an artist and filmmaker. I’ve dedicated much of my time to experimenting with these tools, which I believe are not a replacement for human creativity, but a way to enhance it. Through AI, I’m able to blur the lines between technology and art to create something new and impactful.
I take pride in having my work recognized through multiple awards and juries, including the Telly Awards and Meta Morph AI Film Awards. Each project I undertake, whether it's a commercial video for a major brand or a personal project fueled by AI innovation, is approached with a commitment to excellence aiming to deliver visuals that leave a lasting impact.
