Selected projects from the last few years
Some of the worlds I have built and loved most. A selection from the last few years, work I am proud to have made and even more proud to share.
About
THIS IS FRINGE
Cinematic AI, digital production and visual storytelling built to make ideas impossible to ignore.
Every world I build starts as a feeling. I work at the intersection of cinema and virtual space, creating CGI environments, art direction and visual storytelling for brands and films that want to exist somewhere people have never been yet. Based in Dubai. Building what comes next.
