"I don’t limit myself to one title or medium—I work across creative directing, photography, music video and film directing, post-production editing & VFX, videography, documentary work, creative consulting, graphic design, fashion etc. I never want to be boxed into just one thing ever, that's just not living correctly to me." - ankhstarr, 2025
