What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my creativity and technical skills in a collaborative environment, focusing on innovative projects that push the boundaries of visual storytelling.

I am a passionate and highly enthusiastic designer and filmmaker with ten years of experience in the industry. My journey has allowed me to work on various projects, honing my skills in visual storytelling and graphics. I pride myself on staying updated with the latest design trends and technologies, ensuring that my work is always fresh and innovative.

Throughout my career, I have taken on multiple roles, including screenplay writer, visual effects artist, and social media manager. My experience with brands like Asian Paints and my role as an Assistant Director in feature films have equipped me with a diverse skill set. I am a fast learner, always eager to pick up new skills and techniques to enhance my craft.
