I build worlds through image, story, style, sound, and atmosphere.

I am a Los Angeles-based creative director, filmmaker, photographer, fashion co-founder, brand builder, and cultural programmer with roots in Tbilisi, New York, and Los Angeles. My work has always lived where film, fashion, music, nightlife, design, hospitality, and human energy meet.

I was raised by the velocity of New York — its streets, its danger, its elegance, its nightlife, its mythology, its impossible hunger. That became part of my creative language. I learned early that culture is not built by decoration. It is built by emotion, tension, taste, rhythm, memory, and the right people in the right room at the right time.

As Co-Founder of AMA Handmade, I helped build a fashion brand rooted in craft, design, handmade production, creative direction, and operations. At ONE GOLDEN THREAD, I served as Co-Creative Director / Creative Director, leading creative across campaign imagery, video, editing, website design, ad creative, brand storytelling, product presentation, and visual identity for a Los Angeles conscious fashion and lifestyle brand.

As Creative Director of SupperClub LA, I created and hosted Limelight Thursdaze, a monthly event series inspired by New York’s legendary nightlife and reimagined through a Los Angeles lens — bringing together music, dinner, performance, fashion, art, and creative community.

Through The Superfly / Superfly Films and DAVA Studio, I have directed commercials, music videos, short films, branded content, fashion campaigns, and original creative concepts. My broader work includes brand worlds such as SUPERFLY, NOIR7 — House of Ritual, Tequila Mockingbird, and other fashion, hospitality, luxury, and lifestyle concepts.

The through-line is simple: I am interested in the architecture of feeling.

What makes an image unforgettable.
What makes a brand believable.
What makes a room electric.
What makes people feel like they belong to something rare.

I do not create for decoration. I create for memory.
