Carnaval Studio

Carnaval Pictures has always been my laboratory for clarity, storytelling, and performance under pressure.

It’s the lens that shaped the CORE Framework.

While most of my work today happens one-to-one online, that same director’s eye guides every coaching session — ensuring your message looks, sounds, and feels extraordinary on any stage or screen.

Filmmaking is where I learned resilience. Coaching is where I pass it on.
