A personal Spec documentary-style edit of a craftsman forging a knife.
I wanted to see how much story I could tell in under a minute using only raw footage and sound.
What I did:
Cut the raw footage down to 47 seconds with a hook-first structure
Paced every cut to the rhythm of the work: hammer strikes, sparks, grinding
Built the sound design from scratch (whooshes, hammer hits, sparks, grinding) and layered a piano music bed underneath for emotion
Why it matters: This is the style I bring to founder stories, brand films, and documentary-style content: tight pacing, texture-heavy sound, and a clear emotional beat.

Throwback for #spooky season 🕯️
Revisiting our #collab with Axel Kinnear: frame-by-frame 2D animation full of goblins, green fire and old magic.
On our side we handled sound design and original #music, mixing organic #foley with eerie textures so the #hand-drawn style felt tactile and a little sinister.

Love this throwback! The frame-by-frame style with the green fire and goblins is so unique. And the sound design mixing foley with eerie textures — perfect for spooky season. Awesome collab!
Brand identity for Ekho an audio technology brand focused on creating tools that expand the possibilities of sound design while maintaining clarity and simplicity. Inspired by the concept of “echo,” the brand reflects depth, space, and transformation in sound, translated into a modern and minimal design approach.

WHERE TO?
Did I wake up at the mall, or inside a dream of one?
Either way, somebody left a key on my pillow, a bike under a cover started asking questions, and the only way to find out was to go.
I tried to squeeze the whole idea, and the whole trip, into the time limit: a guy farming aura all the way down to CapCut World LA, through a bay, a side quest, a wardrobe change he never asked for, and a city that can’t decide whether it’s real or rendered.
The credits ran out before the trip did. So the edit got creative: rescue cuts, two takes braided into one, and a render error that stayed in because it earned its place.
Whether he lands in Los Angeles or in the dream of it, you’ll have to watch.

A render error that stays in because it earned its place is a braver call than regenerating it. Same with braiding two takes into one: neither take was right on its own, the cut made it right.
