Welcome to my world of visual storytelling! I'm a versatile creative professional with a passion for crafting captivating visual experiences.
With well over a decade of filmmaking experience, I've had the privilege of creating a diverse range of cinematic works. From wedding films that tug at the heartstrings to visually stunning documentaries that transport viewers to new realms.
In addition to my filmmaking journey, I bring over eight years of expertise in motion design. This unique skill set allows me to infuse a touch of magic into every project I undertake. The ability to breathe life into graphics and create dynamic, engaging visuals has become second nature to me.
My VFX journey began in Vancouver, Canada, where I honed my skills and earned my stripes in VFX. The bustling city, known for its vibrant film industry, was the perfect training ground. Today, I find myself inspired by the awe-inspiring beauty of Iceland, which I call home. Nature's grandeur and cinematic landscapes serve as a constant muse for my work, infusing my projects with a unique, ethereal quality.
Join me on this creative journey as we explore the art of visual storytelling, one frame at a time.
