RESUME

Professional â€‹

info​​
 

​I'm an Animator-turned-Writer/Director with a passion for storytelling and filmmaking. With over a decade of experience as an Animator, I honed my skills in creating new characters and building fantastical stories around them.

 

I write and direct both for Animation as well as Live Action, with a number of short/feature scripts and ad films already under my belt.

​

My short script treatment 'The Toothless King' won First Place in the 2012-2013 American Gem Short Script Contest. 

 

In 2015, my feature script 'Amydala' made the quarter-finals in the Bluecat Screenplay Competition and was shortlisted in the top 5% of over 4500 scripts. 

 

I am currently working at King's in-house ad agency, Brand Creative Studio as a Video Director where I helm video ad campaigns and films from ideation to concept, overseeing the production while leading and supervising the project team (both internally and externally) until final delivery.  

​

The latest ad film I wrote and directed at King resulted in a +1600% uplift on Facebook and was the second-most viewed video on the platform. A live-action video that I directed to celebrate Candy Crush's Level 5000 milestone garnered over 10 million views.
