About

I'm a creative strategist and filmmaker with a background in business administration and strategic management. Since 2022 I've run my own video production studio, FyneGrain. I use that business background to make videos that don't just look good, but actually fit what a company wants to achieve, connecting market analysis and value proposition design with visual storytelling.

Key skills:

  • Market analysis
  • Value proposition design
  • Marketing strategy
  • Visual storytelling
  • Videography
  • Video editing
  • Client management
