Bio
Writer, director who likes to create things with creativity, heart and humor. Maker of creative and memorable commercials, music videos and films.
Philosophy
I start with a super creative idea, then try to personalize it. This adds value and meaning to the things I create. I believe that the right collaboration can make mediocre ideas great, but a wrong collaboration can screw up even a great idea. I don’t get bothered by failures and like to focus in the process of creating things.
