About

I tell stories through images, not words.

I’m a director working with picture and sound, turning raw footage into atmospheric, emotionally charged sequences. What I enjoy most is seeing an idea on paper become a finished story on screen through collaboration.

When challenges arise, I stay calm, find unconventional solutions quickly and keep the project moving forward. If you know exactly what you want, I’ll help bring it to life. If you’re still looking for the right form, I’ll propose a strong direction.
