I help brands and creators turn raw or long-form footage into story-driven videos that actually hold attention. I specialize in short-form content, podcast clips, interviews, and branded edits—focused on pacing, structure, and storytelling that keeps people watching. My approach is simple: no generic templates, no over-editing—just clean, intentional work that fits your brand and performs across platforms. If you have footage and a goal, I’ll help shape it into something people actually want to watch.

From fashion campaigns with 100+ deliverables to same-day event highlight reels, I've worked with a wide-range of clients and editorial needs over the years.

For post-services, I'm proficient in DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, and After Effects.
