DIRECTOR | CINEMATOGRAPHER | SOCIAL MEDIA & MARKETING

Where Cinematic Vision Meets Digital Strategy

I believe every brand has a story that deserves to be told with the depth of a feature film. As a Film Director and Social Media Strategist, I bridge the gap between high-end production and high-growth marketing.

Whether I’m behind the lens directing a commercial shoot or analyzing engagement metrics for a global campaign, my goal remains the same: to create an emotional connection that stops the scroll. I thrive at the intersection of art and algorithm, ensuring every frame is beautiful and every strategy is backed by data.
