I’m a filmmaker and photographer with a deep curiosity about people, memory and the way we experience the world. What moves me is reality. I’m drawn to stories that carry emotional complexity, personality and lived experience. I like projects that challenge the way we see things, making us question our own beliefs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m naturally quiet, and observation is a big part of my process. Before filming or photographing, I try to understand the environment, the people and what feels true in that context. Whether I’m working with an actor, a community, a brand or an individual, I’m always looking for the meaning behind what I’m capturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coming from an interdisciplinary background, I developed a deep appreciation for observation, aesthetics and transformation. Those experiences continue to shape my visual language and my interest in creating sensory, immersive visual storytelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since moving into audiovisual work, I’ve directed and filmed two short films showcased at BYOF and worked behind the scenes on an award-winning short film recognized for Best Film and Best Cinematography. I’ve also expanded my practice across photography, documentaries, commercial projects and BTS productions. I enjoy moving between different formats, as they broaden my creative perspective and constantly challenge the way I work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I believe visual storytelling has a direct impact on how we understand the world. Cinema and photography are influenced by society, but they also shape it. That’s why honesty matters to me. No matter the medium, I want my work to feel genuine and emotionally grounded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than being remembered for my name, I hope my films and photographs are remembered for the way they make people feel, think and return to them over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
