Hey there! Welcome to my world of visual storytelling. I’m a creative professional who’s all about bringing stories to life through film, motion design, and VFX.
I’ve been in the filmmaking game for over a decade, working on everything from heartfelt wedding films to stunning documentaries that take viewers on a journey. On top of that, I’ve spent years honing my skills in motion design and VFX, adding that extra bit of magic to every project.
My VFX journey began in Vancouver, Canada, a city buzzing with film industry energy, where I sharpened my skills and earned my stripes in VFX. Today, I find myself inspired by the inspiring beauty of Iceland, which I call home. Its epic and cinematic landscapes constantly fuel my creativity, adding a unique and dreamlike touch to my work.
Join me on this creative journey and let’s explore the art of visual storytelling together, one frame at a time.
