I create films and visual stories from concept to master, combining directing, cinematography, sound, editing, colour, and finishing. My work moves between experimentation and narration, including six short films and a documentary currently in production.

My films have received the Audience Award and Second Film Prize at the Swiss Youth Film Days 2026, alongside awards and nominations from Arc Film Festival, Independent Short Awards, Short Focus Film Festival, and Tehran Short Film Festival. I have co-written, co-directed, and co-produced films including Stains of Fear, Vestige, Haha Haha Ha!, and Another Night.

As an independent filmmaker, videographer, and photographer, I lead productions for clients including AB InBev, Tudor, Museum Tinguely, photo basel, Das Goetheanum, Ensemble Proton, Musik-Akademie Basel, and FHNW. I manage everything from research, concepts, budgets, and crew coordination through camera, post-production, sound design, and delivery.

I also teach video, narration, and post-production at FHNW and DaVinci Resolve at HGK Basel. As an official Blackmagic Design Certified Trainer, I support students in editing, colour correction, visual effects, and audio post-production.
