What I'm looking for

I am looking for a creative team that values storytelling and innovation.

As a recent graduate in TV Production and Motion Graphics, I am passionate about bringing concepts to life through various media. My expertise lies in creating dynamic 3D animations, crafting compelling stories through video, and capturing moments with a lens. I thrive in environments that value storytelling, innovation, and bold design.

In my role as a Photographer and Content Creator at Ride Shotgun, I co-created high-impact photo and video campaigns that aligned with client brand strategies. I supported all production stages, from ideation to editing, and managed on-site and in-studio setups. My freelance photography experience has allowed me to work on diverse projects, including live events and promotional content, where I managed end-to-end processes and delivered high-quality assets.
