Background

Video Editor, Graphic Designer, Game Developer

I have spent most of my life around computers, the internet, films, games, and online media. Growing up with so much visual content taught me how scenes are built, how stories move, how pacing keeps people interested, and how sound, atmosphere, and editing can completely change the feeling of a project. Over time, this turned into practical skills in video editing, visual design, game design, cinematography, storytelling, and creating engaging content. From making early videos with Camtasia, Sony Vegas, and Audacity to developing my own games, I learned by watching, experimenting, and constantly producing.
