Most of my digital art is graphics for videos or short films I produce. Every now and then I would take some inspiration from my own photographs, and create backgrounds for my laptop. I have also created all of my YouTube videos’ thumbnails as well as the animated intro for my YouTube channel.

I prefer nature photography above all else as macro-photography is my favourite. I prefer to not edit my photos in post. I consider myself an amateur photographer at best, but I learn more everytime I go into a spontaneous photography session.

My YouTube channel is the first non-academic related video editing I have done. Some of my other works seen here were collaborative works for my Drama and Film Studies degrees. Almost all of the graphics seen in the videos are my digital art work or pre-loaded into the software I am utilising. DaVinci Resolve is my preferred software to use when editing.

Tools / Software:

Celtx, Google Docs, Microsoft Word, Notability

For scriptwriting and playwriting (my university majors), Celtx is my go-to. I utilise Notability to plan out my storylines, characters, etc. When it comes to my writing, I am more of a planner than anything else. I prefer writing in the drama, fantasy, sci-fi, and thriller genres.
