As the Head of Video at the New York office of Byte/DEPT, I spearheaded the creation of compelling social-focused content for esteemed clients such as Spotify, Google, Waze, Pret a Manger, and more. In this multifaceted role, I exercised my expertise in cinematography, editing, producing, and directing a wide variety of videos.

In addition to my hands-on involvement as a cinematographer and editor, I successfully assembled and managed a talented video team consisting of editors and motion designers. I provided day-to-day supervision, guidance, and mentorship to ensure the team's productivity and creative output remained exceptional.

To support our production efforts, I actively recruited and hired freelancers who seamlessly integrated into our collaborative environment, bolstering our capacity and capabilities.
