ABOUT ME


Videographer

writer

storyteller

In a nutshell, I’m a storyteller that loves creating new content. Through the images, sounds and words used, I aim to bring stories to life. I adapt to my environments, collaborate well with others and always try to create the best results within the time allocated.

In the past 2 years, I’ve entered the video production realm and self-produced, presented, and edited over seventy-five commercial and personal videos. I’ve also travelled to Dubai and back with my most trusted friends for The Hult Prize, one of the largest social entrepreneurship business competitions in the world, and lived in South Korea for one year while balancing my studies and freelance videography work for a Korean government city.   

I have learnt to communicate clear and engaging messages by immersing myself in a wide variety of storytelling environments. I’ve excelled in debating, business pitch competitions, advertising, travel promotion, corporate videos, entertainment journalism, and even as a DJ.

As an Asian-Australian, I’ve always lived halfway between Asian culture and Western culture. I see this as a great asset as I can objectively step back from a situation and evaluate what is appropriate for the audience in question. With my works, I strive to show people something they haven’t seen before.
