I have made Internet and TV commercials, music videos and short films, and have received praise for my work at both film festivals and representatives of top brands, such as Microsoft, Samsung, Unicef, Nivea, Shell and Visa to name but a few. Apart from creating commercials, I have also made several short and mid-length films.

I am a budding journalist at the American University in Bulgaria who takes interest in enterprise storytelling and documentary filmmaking. I enjoy dabbling in human interest stories and presenting them to the broad world in both written and video form. I have penned a 5,000-word feature on a Bulgarian Roma who has struggled to provide for her ever growing family amid a raging economic crisis in Eastern Europe. My immersion in the Roma community led to a short documentary on a lavish Roma wedding in a small Bulgarian town that explores the collision between centuries-old customs and modern lifestyle. The documentary was produced, directed, shot and edited in the span of a moth together with a college partner in the fall of 2014. I have also shot and edited for a longshort documentary that examines how Communism in Bulgaria molded the lives of two men with vastly disparate lifestyles and value systems.
