Log line: A missing persons case. A police detective and an AI analyst. The fallibility of memory and witness testimony pitted against cold, hard forensic evidence.
ABOUT
I’m an Architectural Designer with a background in Visualization. I have over 6 years of professional experience in design, ranging from institutional, residential and custom residential, mixed use, commercial projects. I’m a fast learner and highly adaptable to multi-disciplinary teams. I’ve always been interested in film and storytelling. Based on my experiences, I aspire to change the way architecture is perceived as being about buildings and the built environment.
