I am a filmmaker based in Tokyo and Osaka, Japan. After completing a voluntary service in India, I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Motion Pictures from the University of Applied Sciences Darmstadt and a diploma in Documentary Directing from the Film Academy Baden-Württemberg. ​ Since then, I have contributed to a wide range of projects for clients and broadcasters, including Expo Osaka, BBDO (a global advertising agency), Ruggable (a U.S.-based home décor brand), ARD (Germany’s national public broadcaster), as well as my own YouTube channel, Our Traditional Japanese House. My most notable works include the documentaries MASALA CHAI and SPACE CLEANERS. ​ Since 2024, I have been developing a long-term documentary project titled FLAVOURS OF DARJEELING, which is scheduled for completion in 2027.
