About me

Jack of all trades and intercultural thinker that craves new challenges. Equipped with extensive production experience and strong understanding of creative ideation, reinforced by an excellent understanding of budgets. Great at finding solutions and cost savings for 360 and integrated productions, content creation and live broadcast TV. My creative mind and love for cinematography also led me to become a filmaker/director that understands and is not afraid of any project; small or large.
