I am a feature film editor and VFX supervisor who has led post-production on 6+ professionally funded European feature films, serving as both main editor and VFX lead. My work spans the full post-production pipeline — from structural edit refinement and performance shaping to complex compositing, matchmoving, cleanup, and final delivery-ready finishing. I combine narrative sensitivity with technical precision, ensuring that performances, pacing, and emotional clarity remain intact while invisible visual effects integrate seamlessly into the cinematic language of the film. Alongside long-form narrative projects, I collaborate on trailers, commercial campaigns, and high-end VFX-driven content where storytelling strength and polished execution are critical. My focus is always on delivering cohesive, production-ready results that elevate the overall project.

Not your average freelancer. I'm a problem-solver, a visual storyteller, and the conductor who turns your vision into reality. If you need motion graphics, VFX, or animation that demands attention, you’re in the right place. With 15+ years in post-production, filmmaking, and TV, I’ve worked with top-tier brands—Microsoft, XBOX, Danone, Nestlé, P&G, LG, Samsung, Pepsi, Visa, and more. My job? Making their visuals unforgettable. Now, let’s do the same for you. What I Bring to the Table: 🎬 2D/3D Animation & Infographics – I turn data into dynamic stories. 🔥 VFX & Compositing – Seamlessly blending imagination with reality. 🎨 3D Modeling & Texturing – From concept to polished perfection. 📈 Corporate & Educational Videos – Engaging, professional, and anything but boring. Why Work With Me? ✅ I don’t do cookie-cutter. Every project is crafted for impact. ✅ Communication is key—video calls, updates, and collaboration are part of the deal. ✅ Deadlines? Non-negotiable.
