About Me
I turn ideas into things people actually stop and watch.
I'm Mohtashim — a creative technologist, filmmaker and student who moves between a camera, a design file, and a code editor depending on what a project needs.

Most of what I make starts with a simple question: what will actually make someone stop scrolling? This past summer that question took me to the KID Museum in Washington, DC, where I led Project Lighthouse, a youth education initiative, and earned a Frank Karel Fellowship for the work.
- Starting with the story, not the software
- Aligning on tone, goals & audience
- Concept through frame-perfect execution
- A final cut, ready to post
How I work
Story first, then craft. Every project starts with what will actually make someone stop scrolling.
Tools I use daily
The stack that turns an idea into something you can watch, click through, or scroll past.
- Story over spectacle
- Clarity over complexity
- Shipped over perfect
What I stand for
Good work solves a problem first, and looks good doing it second.
