I’m Michelle, an educator and visual storyteller working between education, documentary film, and photography. With a background in alternative pedagogies and photography,I document communities, schools, and spaces where new ways of living and learning are emerging. My work seeks to open perspectives on education as a living relationship between people, environments, and culture.
Vilakshan
I am a film and visual media composer working across orchestral, minimalist, and atmospheric sound worlds. With a background in classical guitar and contemporary composition, I focus on emotional clarity, spatial depth, and restrained thematic writing, often blending acoustic instruments with subtle electronics. Alongside scoring, I release original work across solo, chamber, and ambient forms. This informs an approach to music that values silence, pacing, and narrative sensitivity as much as melody. I am particularly drawn to intimate, visually driven projects where music shapes psychological and temporal space rather than simply supporting the surface.

Born in Russia, I am an aspiring sound designer working with film, animation, and visual media. Over the past years, I have developed experience across various sound-related aspects, including sound recording, Foley, ADR, dialogue editing, mixing, and creative sound design. Having lived and worked in different countries, I continue to shape my artistic skills through diverse cultural experiences. Now based in India, my goal is to create sound design that feels authentic, expressive, and alive, while collaborating on films and creative projects that explore meaningful stories.
