I placed 2nd in the Creative Movie category at the We are BAC/OAS 2019 New Creators Award, judged against roughly 20 to 25 competing teams. The award recognised my graduation project, a two-person production where I handled all filming.
I make video, motion and design work that holds up against real broadcast standards, not coursework standards. I've formatted broadcast-ready subtitles for a government-commissioned documentary series in Japan, designed roughly a third of a Korean entertainment outlet's annual look book, and taught myself Blender from scratch to direct a complete 3D animated fan music video solo, from storyboard to final render. I hold a Master of Creative Industries from Macquarie University (2025), and I'm bilingual in Japanese (JLPT N2) and conversational in Korean (TOPIK Level 3), which lets me work comfortably across Japanese, Korean and English-language productions.
Education
I hold a Master of Creative Industries and a Bachelor of Arts in Japanese Studies and Public Relations & Social Media, both from Macquarie University. Alongside this coursework, I trained in floor management and live broadcast production at Japan's BAC Broadcasting College, where I placed 2nd in the Creative Movie category at the 2019 New Creators Award.
