I’ve produced branded documentaries, corporate films, event coverage, and long-term time-lapse projects across Asia for Apple, Nike, Marriott, Johnson Controls, GoPro, Ford, and other global brands. My work has appeared on BBC, National Geographic, Gizmodo, and Mashable, including a four-year time-lapse documenting the construction of Shanghai Tower.
As a freelance producer and cinematographer, I take projects from concept to delivery—handling creative direction, scripting, cinematography, editing, and final delivery for digital and live-event formats.
