PLAYER 01 / CREATIVE MODE

STORY FIRST.
AI NEXT.

Professional screenwriter
turned AI Generalist.

I take brands from the first creative idea to the final video — combining a screenwriter’s instinct with the possibilities of AI.

02 / CHARACTER MODE

Beyond realism.
Full of character.

Characters with personality.
Stories with something to feel.

I create stylized characters and animated stories that give an idea a face, a voice and an emotional hook. From character exploration to a finished sequence, I bring a screenwriter’s sense of performance, timing and payoff to AI animation.

PLAY / CHARACTER ANIMATION

A world built around character.

Expressive characters, a cohesive setting and storytelling through movement — a visual approach for brand films, social content and character-led campaigns.

03 / WORLD BUILDING

A distinct style.
A lasting impression.

Art direction with Midjourney.
Imagined in stills. Brought into motion.

I use Midjourney to develop visual worlds with a recognisable identity — shaping colour, texture, character and atmosphere into one coherent direction. Then I carry that aesthetic into AI-generated video, creating distinctive content that gives brands more than a beautiful frame: a look they can build a story around.

PLAY / FROM CONCEPT TO MOTION

One visual language. An entire world.

A study in forest greens, antique gold and illustrated detail. Character and environment concepts establish the aesthetic; generative video gives the world movement and presence.

04 / ORIGIN STORY

Trained in story.
Built for what’s next.

Before I worked with generative models, I worked with characters, conflict and the perfect opening line.

I trained as a professional screenwriter at HSE University and spent more than three years writing in advertising production. I also worked as a screenwriter on the comedy-drama series Policeman from YouTube.

Two years ago, I began exploring AI-generated video. That exploration became a hands-on creative practice spanning image, motion, music and voice — always with a clear story at its core.
