Video Editor & Motion Designer | 15+ Years in Post-Production | Storytelling, Video Editing, Motion Graphics, Sound Design & AI-Assisted Creative Workflows I’m a video editor and motion designer with over 15 years of professional experience in post-production, with a background in film and television from NYU Tisch. My work has always been rooted in storytelling: shaping emotion, structure, rhythm, and clarity through editing, motion, and sound. I’ve worked across broadcast, digital, branded, documentary, educational, and promotional content, with clients and partners including A&E Networks, NBC Sports, Saks Fifth Avenue, Morgan Stanley, the United States Tennis Association, and major universities such as Northwestern, Harvard, Georgetown, Dartmouth, and others. My foundation is traditional post-production craft, editing, motion design, sound, pacing, and visual storytelling, but I’m also deeply interested in how new tools can strengthen the creative process rather than flatten it. Over time, that has grown into a strong focus on AI-assisted workflows, generative media, and emerging creative systems that support faster iteration, smarter asset discovery, technical problem-solving, and new forms of production. I’m especially interested in the space where human editorial judgment meets advanced creative technology: using modern tools to improve workflow, expand what’s possible, and reduce friction, while keeping story, taste, and intention at the center. Whether I’m cutting a trailer, building a motion package, shaping a documentary story, solving a technical post problem, or exploring AI-driven production pipelines, I care about making work that feels clear, polished, and alive. Feel free to connect or reach out if you'd like to see my reel or talk about post-production, motion design, or AI-forward creative workflows.

What I deliver: • Product & UI/UX design, brand systems, web • Short-form/social video, branded content, documentary — shot and edited end-to-end • Sound design, audio mixing, podcast editing • Motion & 3D (After Effects, Cinema 4D) Tools: Figma · Adobe Creative Suite · DaVinci Resolve · Cinema 4D.

He is one of those professionals which you can feel the power he has to create and produce things. I met him when he was really young (I think he was like 20) as one of our youngest clients in La Maquinita Co., and in a couple of months, he was having meetings and working with most of the companies in the Coworking space. Finally, he ended up producing a book of the Coworking space making all of the companies write their own story. It was pretty amazing how he empowered and encouraged so many people to work in the same direction reaching such a great outcome.” Martin Orlando, CEO of La Maquinita ➡️“As editor-in-chief for our school newsletter, Renzo also showed a talent for leadership, guiding a diverse team of peers toward producing a well-edited and beautifully designed final publication.
