Creative direction

As a musician, I have had the pleasure of being on many sets. While being on set for my own videos as well as others I started to become very curious about the process of creating visuals from scratch. What I learned by talking with various members of the crew is that I have a natural love for directing and bringing a vision to life.

For quite some time I already was a large part of the creative process but i just did not realize how much I was and needed to learn the intricacies of putting everything together and that is when my studying began. I took online courses and read anything I could to develop my skills.
