Bantu Wax
For Bantu Wax, a surf brand born in Kenya, I wanted to create a campaign that felt unpredictable, raw, and alive—a true reflection of the brand’s spirit. Rather than a typical surf film, I used surfing itself as the metaphor—a journey through calm waters and powerful waves, mirroring the balance between serenity and thrill. The result was a visually striking, rhythm-driven piece that celebrated not just surfing, but the creative energy and freedom that define Bantu Wax.

Snupps
For Snupps, a platform for collecting and selling fashion and sneakers, we set out to create a humorous, cinematic ad that captured the brand’s bold, creative spirit. As Lead Producer, I oversaw casting, budgeting, locations, and crew, ensuring every piece fit seamlessly. As Director, I brought the vision to life—turning a fun concept into a visually striking story that embodied what Snupps stands for.

Mahorde
A trilogy of campaign videos I crafted for the independent high fashion brand Mahorde in the vibrant heart of Berlin. Set within a historic three-story building that once served as a museum, this video production aimed to harness the space’s rich narrative and character. By weaving together elements of time and transformation, I sought to present the new designs not just as garments, but as a celebration of creativity and artistry, showcased in a truly stylistic manner.

Pirates
Pirates is a film that celebrates the vibrant UK pirate radio culture of the ’90s and early 2000s. The movie enjoyed a national theatrical release and later streamed on Netflix. I led the production of dynamic social content in the weeks leading up to its premiere—mixing exclusive movie scenes with candid moments of the cast introducing the film. Other pieces featured playful character spotlights, where the actors joked about and hyped each other, bringing the movie’s infectious energy to life online.

Mahorde
These two videos were crafted with a vision for social media and e-commerce that perfectly embodies the spirit of the Mahorde modular clothing series. Our goal was to create something not just simple and stylish, but also a vivid demonstration of the clothing’s transformative capabilities. As the director and editor, I aimed to weave a morphing effect throughout the visuals, showcasing the versatility of the garments without the need for direct demonstration. This approach not only captivates attention but also inspires viewers to imagine the endless possibilities, making the concept both eye-catching and deeply relatable.

Backseat
This music video was produced for Sony Music to launch their newly signed artists, Arkon Fly. I took the lead on production alongside the artists, who co-directed the video. From casting and locations to catering, crew, and equipment, I managed every detail—delivering beyond expectations and bringing it all together on a tight budget through creativity, resourcefulness, and a strong network.

Eve of man
Eve of Man is a novel written by a former pop star and his wife. I was brought on to produce a cinematic trailer for its release—on very short notice. As producer, I relished the challenge of building a futuristic world from the ground up, securing the perfect locations, costumes, cast, and crew to help the director bring the book’s vivid setting to life on screen.
