Co-Founder, Creative Director & Filmmaker
Self taught filmmaker and creative director working across brands, founders, and athletes since 2023.

He holds an MSc with distinction and a first class BSc, speaks six languages, and founded URAL Studios to go deeper with fewer clients: intentional films, real craft, work that moves numbers.
