I’ve been a documentary filmmaker and editor for 10 years now. My appreciation of materiality and optics is forged from my time as a mechanical engineer in camera design. And even now, momentum and movement still underscores my work, pairing with a fierce creative practice of exploratory analog creation.

Growing up as a traveller moving from place to place, my filmmaking journey began when living in Shanghai. Since then, my interests as an artist have taken me to Vietnam, Nepal, Pakistan, and Alaska. My focus now is to create work that offers intimate portraits to different ways of being. For me, this exists where science and social justice intersect, and in amplified diasporic voices.
