"10/10 Working with Christian has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my content and production quality. As someone who has worked with multiple creatives, I can confidently say he operates at a different level" - Recent client review 500+ videos edited. YouTube long-form, short-form social content, commercials, and brand documentaries. Based in Vancouver, Canada with a decade of hands-on post-production experience. I work with YouTube creators, brands, and production teams who need an editor that actually understands pacing, retention, and storytelling - not just cuts and transitions. What I handle end to end: - Full post-production - assembly through final export - Color grading - Motion graphics and visual effects in After Effects - Sound design and audio cleanup - Platform-specific formatting for YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn What clients consistently say: clear communicator, meets tight deadlines, incorporates feedback without pushback. Six clients flagged "Clear Communicator" on completed contracts. Five flagged "Committed to Quality." Trilingual — English, Spanish, and German. If you need an editor who can work across language markets, I can handle that too. If you want a 2-minute Loom walkthrough of how I'd approach your project before committing to anything, just message me.

I help mining, environmental, land and engineering teams turn complex spatial data into accurate GIS deliverables, actionable analysis and automated geospatial workflows. My core expertise is in ArcGIS Pro, Python/ArcPy automation, remote sensing, UAV photogrammetry and large-scale spatial data processing. I am particularly well suited to projects where GIS needs to go beyond simply making a map — data needs to be cleaned, analyzed, automated, QA/QC'd and delivered in a reliable, repeatable workflow. My services include: • GIS analysis, geoprocessing and spatial modelling • Python/ArcPy GIS workflow automation • Remote sensing and satellite imagery analysis • Mineral exploration and geological GIS • UAV/drone photogrammetry and imagery processing • Orthomosaics, DSM/DTM, point clouds and contours • LiDAR, DEM and terrain analysis • Parcel, cadastral and land suitability analysis • Georeferencing and historical map digitization • Geodatabase design, data cleaning and QA/QC • Cartographic map production and client-ready deliverables I work extensively with ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online, QGIS, Python, ArcPy, FME, GDAL, GeoPandas, Rasterio, Pix4D and DJI Terra, along with satellite datasets including Sentinel-2, Landsat and ASTER. My professional background includes GIS and UAV leadership within the geoscience/mineral exploration industry, as well as previous GIS experience in government and public-sector organizations. This gives me experience not only producing GIS outputs, but designing workflows that remain accurate and manageable across large and complex datasets. If you send me your data, desired output and project requirements, I can quickly identify an appropriate workflow and explain how I would approach the project before we begin.

We all have a story to tell. I'm a freelance video editor in Vancouver, working across long-form, short-form and everything in between. I edit videos built around people, ideas and stories, from podcasts and interviews to YouTube, vlogs, corporate films, events and social content. What I edit: • Video podcasts, interviews and conversations, multi-camera or recorded remotely • Talking heads, educational videos and YouTube content • Vlogs, travel videos and creator content • Webinars, panels, conferences and event videos • Product explainers, demos and screen-recording walkthroughs • Corporate, internal and branded films, cut to your guidelines • Documentary and on-location footage • Personal events, celebrations and highlight films • Social media content, shorts and reels pulled from existing footage • And pretty much anything where you have good footage and need a story shaped from it Before going freelance, I spent 12 years working in post-production for major networks in Paris, including running programme grids. I moved to Canada in 2018, retrained in video production, and have been editing full time ever since. I work in English and French, and can deliver subtitled versions in both. My main tools are Premiere Pro and After Effects, with Photoshop for graphics. I also use professional AI tools such as Runway and Kling when they’re useful for creating or enhancing visual elements. I have subscriptions to stock footage and royalty-free music libraries as well, so I can source additional assets when a project needs them.. Send me your footage and a brief, and I'll take it from there. Have a look at my demo reel below, and tell me what you're making!
