Below are videos I produced and edited for our social media platform. I managed various aspects of video production, including storyboarding, talent management, prop sourcing, and location scouting. I hosted shoots at my residence and coordinated filming sessions at studios. Additionally, you'll find 3D videos I created using Blender.

Below is the brand guide I made for my personal brand "N8 Draws." This has helped me maintain consistency across multiple e-commerce platforms, including Etsy, Printful, and Amazon. I designed, prited, and sold handmade stickers on Etsy, and I sell various shirts on Amazon.
