What I'm looking for

I'm looking for remote creative opportunities in video editing, storytelling, and post-production. I’m particularly interested in roles that allow creative freedom, social impact, and visual experimentation.

I work across editing, animation, illustration, VFX, and sound design for audiovisual content. I’m passionate about telling stories that connect people, and using motion design as a bridge between reality and imagination.
