What I'm looking for

I seek a role combining creative direction and end-to-end video production where I can lead teams, drive storytelling, and scale audience engagement.

I am a visual creative and communication aficionado with over 8 years of hands-on experience in video production, photography, and strategic communication. I specialize in planning, shooting, editing, and delivering high-quality video content for documentaries, features, and social platforms.

In leadership roles I have headed production teams, assigned roles, optimized workflows, and implemented improvements in equipment performance and production methods. At organisations I collaborated cross-functionally with marketing, design and stakeholders to align content with brand messaging and campaign goals.

My technical strengths include equipment setup and configuration, post-production effects, color correction, sound design and delivering content for broadcast and Video-on-Demand platforms. I train teams in editing techniques, conduct workshops on storytelling, and use data-driven insights to refine communication strategies.

I bring positive, upbeat leadership, strong multitasking and time-management skills, and a passion for dynamic projects that amplify audience engagement. I am eager to take on roles that let me combine creative direction, production management, and strategic communication to drive impact.
