9+ years crafting visual stories for brands, campaigns, and events — across video production, art direction, branding, and motion. Open to international opportunities.
About me
I'm a multimedia designer specialising in video editing, art direction, and high-impact visual content. Over 9+ years I've worked across agencies, telecoms, and tech companies — leading teams, directing shoots, and producing content that moves people.
My process runs from brief to final frame: concept development, storyboarding, on-set art direction, post-production, and campaign delivery. I'm equally comfortable behind the camera, in the edit suite, or directing a photoshoot for a luxury jewellery brand.
I pick up new tools fast — from AI video generation to 3D sculpting — and genuinely enjoy figuring out what's possible with emerging tech. Problem-solving is where I do some of my best thinking.
I'm currently open to relocating to Dubai — and available for remote roles globally — with agencies and brands that value craft, speed, and creative ambition.
Selected Work
Annual year-end event video for Embla. Led end-to-end from concept and décor ideas to choreographing a Victorian dance sequence and directing professional videographers — all while compeering the night live.
Bollywood-inspired highlight of Embla's year-end celebration, spotlighting the night's award winners. Captured the energy of the dance floor without disrupting the event — timing every shot around the natural flow of the crowd.
Highlight reel for Embla's internal talent show, built around a collage art concept. Brought out the raw, authentic energy of employees performing — a showcase of hidden talent across the company.
High-energy highlight video for Embla's PC game night. Learning and applying new visual techniques and motion effects in real time made this one of the most technically adventurous projects in the series.
Full green-screen production teasing the lineup for Game Night 2025. Built entirely with free tools, every effect edited manually — the most experimental project to date and the most fun to make.
Cultural celebration video featuring a choreographed employee dance sequence. Handled end-to-end — concept, storyboard, on-set direction, and final edit — honouring the traditional New Year for the whole company.
No AI used — all work designed by hand
