ABOUT
I’m a multidisciplinary art director experienced in theatre, film, and commercial productions. I specialize in spatial storytelling and design, using SketchUp and Ai based visualization tools to create immersive environments and narratives. My practice blends costume integration, prop making, and hand crafted detail, bringing together digital innovation with traditional artistry.
