Leadership

 
 

WELCOME to my LEADERSHIP ZONE

🏆 Recognized as a “Good Vibes Guru” 🏆
Reflecting the collaborative and uplifting spirit I bring to my work (and maybe a solid pun or two).


The soil of our mind contains many seeds, positive and negative.
We are the gardeners who identify, water, and cultivate the best seeds.

BELIEFS

  • Creativity thrives with purpose : Beautiful ideas carry more weight when they’re guided by clear thinking and aligned with purpose.

  • People before pixels : When teams feel seen and safe, creativity flows. I build spaces that empower people to show up fully.

  • Mind the details : From the very first spark, to the final render, true excellence grows through steady care for the small things.

PRIORITIES

  • Vision & Strategy : Balancing artistic integrity with business goals to deliver work that performs and leaves inspired teams proud.

  • Team Growth : Mentorship is where I thrive. I guide others though challenges to grow with confidence and shine on their own terms.

  • Creative Integrity : No templates. Just intention and originality, shaped with care; so everything is built with heart.

STYLE

  • Hands-On Meets High-Level : I move fluidly between leading and doing; always mindful of where the team needs energy most.

  • Mentorship with Intent : Instead of just teaching skills, I strategically help others to connect the dots and find meaning in the work they do.

  • Collaboration as the Core : I believe the best work happens when trust leads and diverse ideas have a space to land.

WHY IT WORKS

My leadership combines creative artistry with strategic calm. It’s about finding the sweet spot between delivering impact and creating space for people to feel supported and challenged in the right ways. Whether with clients or the team, I build steady momentum by connecting vision with action.
And let’s face it, even the tightest deadlines benefit from minds at ease - because great ideas flow when people feel inspired and have space to do their best work.


 

A few kind words shared with me over the years, publicly or privately. Used with appreciation and care.


 

Leadership isn’t defined by a single role, it’s the sum of past experiences. As a Director, a Creative & Art Director, and a Creative, each role has shaped my ability to guide teams, drive creative direction, and shape impactful work.

 
 

LALALAND

 

All leadership work from 2022–2025 is under NDA’s, making LALALAND’S FAREWELL REEL (2011-2016)
a rare and open glimpse into my hands-on creative direction, team leadership and storytelling style.


Music: The Kills - Getting Down (All rights for this track go to their respective owners)

Lalaland was a design-driven animation studio that I founded back in the day; it was a creative playground where I honed my leadership, strategic thinking, and team-building skills. Though its journey came to a close, it laid the groundwork for the leadership mindset I continue to evolve and refine today.

 

SUPERSIDE

 

While my leadership role spans multiple projects and responsibilities under NDA, SUPERSIDE'S REEL (2025) gives a glance into the caliber of Motion & 3D projects I’ve helped shape, and the kind of work the teams I lead bring to life.

This reel showcases work from many talented teams and individuals across Superside. While my role at Superside involves creative direction across Motion & 3D, leading + mentoring global teams, and animation pipeline optimization, this reel is a testament to the collective talent behind these projects.
