About

I create stories where image and sound merge to shape emotion, atmosphere, and meaning. I work across cinematography, sound design, and Foley, treating visuals and audio as one connected language rather than separate disciplines. My work covers documentary, short, feature films, and commercial, with a focus on immersive storytelling where image and sound support emotion and narrative. *Documentaries and short films Selected cinematography work includes Queen of Inanga (Irene Iradukunda), Out of Cage (Liliane Umutoniwase), Brave Mom (Nadine Igihozo), Seeing Hands (Daniel Murwanashyaka), Feeding Woman (Elie Mutangana), Isano (Venant Nsengimana), and On the Blink (Ibrahim Kwizera). In post-production, I have contributed sound design and Foley work to films such as Phiona (Mutiganda Wankunda), Not a Choice (Becks Utamuriza), The Incubation (Deus Debit Sangwa), Umukandara (Shema Deve), and The Clay of Memory (by MPAZIMAKA Jones Kennedy). In animation, I have worked as narrator, sound designer, and Foley artist on Igihe Kirahenda, Foley artist on Bwiza, and recording, sound design, and Foley on Igisoro cya Nyogokuru, all directed by Fiston Mudacumura. Beyond film, I also craft commercial video productions and post-production work, bringing the same focus on storytelling, atmosphere, and sound-driven emotion. I’m drawn to detail-driven narratives where every frame, sound, and silence is intentional. I’m currently open to collaborations with filmmakers, brands, and creatives who value immersive storytelling through both image and sound. Let’s create work that doesn’t just exist on screen, but stays with you.
