Tan Bin Bin

Studio Manager

Nathanael Sanjeevi

Creative Director and Videography Specialist

Nathanel’s (also fondly known as Nat) journey into content creation began with a childhood fascination for lights. He loved how lighting could reveal or hide, which led him to learn stage lighting under his dad’s guidance. After more than 20 years designing and operating lighting for concerts, events, and theatre shows, his passion for things that shine in the dark is still as strong as ever. This love for lighting evolved into an interest in cameras. Over the past decade, Nat has worked on videos and photos for commercials, weddings, and more, while also gaining experience in live audio, motion graphics, social media content, and copywriting. His true passion lies in telling stories, particularly those often overlooked, as he believes these stories deserve to be heard. When he’s not behind the camera, Nat enjoys hiking, camping, and diving—especially when there’s great food involved. He’s a huge Lord of the Rings fan and has a love-hate relationship with Manchester United.
