WHO AM I?
I was afraid you wouldn't ask!
As a Visual Storytelling Expert, I bring over 16 years of experience to the table. Fresh out of the Art and Design Academy, I distinguished myself from the crowd by combining my background in comedy & tv writing with video creation. I've worked with prominent clients such as "eBay" and created award-winning videos & animations that have raised over $100M for various companies. My expertise includes scriptwriting, storyboarding, video editing, and visual effects, which allows me to guide clients through every step of the creative process. I am based in Tel Aviv but offer my services worldwide and also lecture in many colleges and academies. Whether you are a client looking for a top-quality video or animation or a student looking to learn from a seasoned pro, I am here to help. Contact me today to get started!

He has a keen eye for detail and a sharp and fast response as to how to harness the people, resources and the surroundings in order to make a normal video great. A great story teller that he is, he is high on my "people to work with again" list.
