Passionate about film, literature, and the visual arts. Having studied drawing, I bring a trained eye for composition, color, and framing to my work. This visual foundation is supported by my experience in painting and hobby photography. As an avid reader and film buff, I constantly analyze diverse storytelling techniques. Furthermore, my studies in singing have given me a sharp ear for rhythm and audio pacing. Traveling and trekking also keep me adaptable and quick at problem-solving.
