There are no arbitrary details in my work.
Every element can be explained by the narrative, text, or data upon which the project is built.

About Me
I am a visual designer and storyteller working across theater, film, and graphic design—specializing in set design, motion graphics, information visualization, and immersive formats.
Before I draw anything, I study the material: the play, the script, the historical period, or the data. I seek the underlying story and build the visuals from that foundation.
I enjoy working with my hands. For Bacchae, I built the stage model myself. For Oil Prices, I spilled ink on wet paper and scanned the resulting stains. I also drive projects through to production: Precedent, an immersive performance I devised, is currently being realized under my production.
I am seeking studios, productions, and creative teams where dramaturgy and meticulous attention to detail are paramount.
Areas of Expertise
· Story and concept development · Set and space design · Titles and motion · Information and editorial design
My Approach
The solution emerges from the material. A communal kitchen drawn from Euripides' text, a house conceived from the logic of a film, ink derived from the narrative of oil.
I create things with my hands. A hand-built model for the stage, ink bleeding onto wet paper for a chart—a physical object reveals what a screen conceals.
The dramaturgy is meticulously considered. What the viewer perceives, the sequence in which they encounter it, and what remains outside the frame.
Story and concept development

In Precedent, I conceived the idea and led the production. I am responsible for the production aspects—technical, creative, and organizational work. The project is being realized in collaboration with a large team.
The story of a defendant who violated a restraining order, witnessed a murder, and remained passive. A question regarding the boundary between legal and moral responsibility.
Set and Space Design



In Bacchae, I relocated the action to a Soviet communal apartment. People share territory against their will; each has a life of their own, and the kitchen is communal. Pentheus became the head of the house committee, Dionysus the new tenant, and the maenads the neighbors who stopped sleeping at night.
The kitchen rotates, displaying everyday life: six gas stoves, a fridge covered in notes, and pots hung on nails. A glass cylinder in the center lets light and shadow filter through, but not detail, so the Bacchic scenes appear as silhouettes.
I built the model by hand. I created it myself to test how light and shadow behave inside the cylinder and how the space is perceived from the audience’s vantage point.


Titles and Motion

In the credits of the film Hereditary, I depicted a house assembling from separate rooms—slowly and almost mechanically, like a repeated ritual. It utilized a dark palette, directional light akin to a flashlight, and dense noise used both as sound and as a visual device. The finished house cuts into the film’s first frame, completing the loop.
Hereditary demonstrates that I study a film’s logic and translate it into motion.
What it shows: I study a film’s logic and translate it into motion.
Applied: film analysis, storyboarding, motion design, sound as image.
Information and Editorial Design

For an infographic tracking rising oil prices, I researched the events of the period, tying every rise and fall to its underlying cause. For the background, I spilled ink onto wet paper to create the texture of an oil spill, then scanned the stains and integrated them into the chart.
Why Work With Me
My decisions are grounded. Every rise and fall on the Oil Prices chart is directly linked to its cause.
The dramaturgy is cohesive. In Precedent, five routes converge on a single verdict.
I create things tangibly. I hand-built the Bacchae model and rendered the Oil Prices texture using ink.
I see projects through to completion and collaborate with teams. Precedent originated as my concept, and it is now being brought to life with a large team, involving creative, technical, and organizational efforts under my direction.
Have a story that needs to be told?
Let’s create it together.
I am open to collaborations, commissions, and team roles in immersive and live projects, theater, film, and research-based design.
