Do you need someone to get your job done quickly? Maybe you're stuck and you don't know how all that video footage you shot will end up fitting together. Or maybe that freelancer you hired for $5/hour ghosted you and you need someone to finish your project! If so, you can count on me to take your video to the next level. When you need a problem-solver, a story-teller, or just someone who will stay up all night to get the project done, I'm your editor! I have 20+ years experience in post-production work. I'm dedicated, enthusiastic, and reliable. My focus is mainly video editing and motion graphics, with an emphasis on telling your story via the Adobe Creative Suite software. Notable clients have included ZENTS, Mondo flooring, Morgan Donner, Baxter Labs, Cleaning for a Reason, Story Center, Transition Trucking, Walgreens, and Free Your Mane.
