Hey, I'm Rishi. I make videos, mostly ads and motion stuff, and lately a lot of it with AI. Hand me a brief and I'll take it all the way to the final export. I've been freelancing since 2022 (100+ clients so far), and right now I'm at Headout, working on Dex.

About me

So, who's Rishi?

I started freelancing back in 12th grade and took it seriously from day one. That turned into Scrap Media. 100+ clients later, I still find every client myself, do the pricing (and the haggling), and when things get busy I bring in 5–6 editors I trust. The brief, the deadline and the final cut stay on me.

I care about how a video looks, but I care more about whether it works. Who's watching? What'll make them stop scrolling? I figure that out first, build the story around it, and then make it pretty.

These days I'm a Research & Media Associate at Headout, on Dex. It's their AI audio-tour product (the cinematic kind), and I handle the research and the media side.

It opens on that awkward pause before you speak, then the struggle, then Sarah, then the glow-up. I animated it from the real app screens in After Effects and added an AI voiceover, music and UI sounds.

Dex: the research & media side

Headout's AI audio tours, the cinematic kind.

I made the promo for Dex's Cubbon Park tour, and it's live on Headout's page now. Day to day, I turn research into stuff a tour can actually use, like checkpoint lists, walking routes, annotated maps and briefs for the writers. Most of it runs through an AI workflow in Dex Studio, and yes, I check every source.

  • Self-guided tours
  • 360° stills → AI edits
  • Recce training
