What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining creative direction and generative AI—leading cross-disciplinary teams, building accessible AI workflows, and producing award-winning visual experiences.

I am a visual designer and generative AI specialist who helps creative teams gain competitive AI advantages without sacrificing artistic vision or adding technical complexity. I blend visual art direction with practical AI implementation to deliver award-winning work across film, VR, public art, and live events.

I have founded and led Ø Studio, producing and directing AI short films that screened at Tribeca, Google I/O, NeurIPS, TED AI, and international festivals, and taught AI-driven methodologies to researchers and creative professionals. I also design high-impact visuals and immersive experiences using tools like Blender, TouchDesigner, Unity, and industry AI platforms.

As an educator and collaborator, I create accessible AI learning resources and courses, mentor students in digital media, and optimize creative workflows through prompt engineering, custom model training, and cross-disciplinary production leadership.
