About me
What I do
I design and direct AI-native content systems, turning ideas into cinematic narratives that scale across platforms.
My background
With a foundation in visual design and filmmaking, I’ve spent 9+ years working across fashion, technology, and social impact crafting stories that connect both emotionally and at scale.
My approach
I approach AI as a creative medium, not just a tool. By combining design thinking with generative workflows, I build systems that bring clarity to complex ideas balancing precision, aesthetics, and human intuition.
