My work includes:Defining the visual language for each series, from lighting and lensing to camera movement and composition.Leading on-set camera departments across shoots — managing gear, media workflows, and technical continuity across formats.Collaborating with post-production to ensure footage flows smoothly into edit and stays true to the creative intent.Helping shape the production approach for new series from concept to pilot, contributing to both creative development and technical planning.Supporting SMOSH’s evolving brand by balancing premium production value with platform-native speed and authenticity.My role at SMOSHalike places me at the creative heart of content that consistently reaches hundreds of thousands — often millions — of viewers per video, helping shape modern digital storytelling at scale.
