What I'm looking for

I am looking for creative roles where I can lead narrative-driven video projects, collaborate with brand teams, and grow in directing and production leadership.

I am a film graduate from the National Institute of Design with hands-on experience in end-to-end video production, creative strategy, and brand campaigns. I write, direct, produce, and edit work that connects emotionally with audiences.

I have produced short films, documentaries, music videos and campaign ads, leading crews of 90+ people and delivering projects from concept through post-production. My graduation project involved writing, directing and editing a 35-minute film while managing sound design and large teams.

I have interned at ad agencies and creative studios, contributing to campaigns for brands such as Britannia, Horlicks and Netflix, and I am skilled in visual storytelling, scriptwriting, art direction, color grading and multiple editing suites.
