I didn't take the traditional path into design. No degree, no formal trainingjust an unhealthy curiosity and an obsession with figuring things out. I taught myself design by making, breaking, and refining until the details finally clicked. Cinematography came through countless hours of experimentation and what I jokingly call "YouTube University."

Today, my work moves between brand identity, motion, and increasingly, 3D product visualization in Cinema 4D. Lately, I've become fascinated with crafting products through light, materials, and movementfinding the point where something digital begins to feel undeniably real. I trust instinct first, then refine relentlessly. It's an approach that's led to work my spanning commercial branding, cinematography, and product visualization.
