Creative Director | Head of Content & Creative Strategy | Brand Films, Commercials & Branded Content | Filmmaker & Cinematographer

About

I'm a Creative Director, filmmaker and co-founder of Forelsket Production, with 10 years of experience across commercials, brand films and social content. I lead work from the first brief to the final film: shaping the idea, setting the visual direction, bringing the crew together and carrying the story through production and post. My background in cinematography and editing keeps those decisions grounded in what we can make, how we make it and what the work needs to achieve. At Forelsket, I lead content and creative strategy across commercial, automotive and branded work. My experience spans projects in India and Dubai, working with brands, agencies and production teams on films, campaigns and digital content. I bring creative direction and production experience to the same table. That includes developing concepts, leading crews, planning shoots, managing client feedback and overseeing delivery. I also use AI tools to explore ideas and support creative workflows. Gujarat-raised and a first-generation entrepreneur, I care about work with a clear point of view, strong craft and a reason to exist. I'm interested in Senior Creative Director and Head of Creative roles where I can lead a team, shape the work and stay close to the filmmaking.
