My path has never been a straight one. Growing up with a father who was a civil engineer and a mother who worked as an accountant, an artistic career might have seemed unlikely—perhaps even contradictory at first glance. Yet photography, videography, sound production, graphic design, and video animation are far more technical than they’re often given credit for.

I ultimately attribute my success as an artist to my foundation in aerospace engineering, where I developed the precision and problem-solving mindset that now shape my creative work.

In this video, I share what it was like to begin my career at a private aviation startup. I also offer insight into how then-Horizon Air evolved into the industry-renowned enterprise now known as “Leviate Air.” Finally, I reflect on a few memorable projects from my time as Director of Digital Media at Leviate.
