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.

Hey Everyone My name is Luisa and I am a Producer with a strong foundation in animation and live-action filmmaking, currently completing my BFA in Cinematography at Columbia College Chicago. During my studies, I spent significant time working across animation—especially stop-motion—and live-action production, which has given me a hands-on understanding of both creative craft and production workflows. My background in cinematography has allowed me to gain practical experience on set and in post-production while developing a deep appreciation for visual storytelling. This technical and creative foundation informs my work as a producer, enabling me to support directors, animators, and creative teams in bringing their vision to life in an organized, realistic, and collaborative way. I am currently producing multiple projects for school, including narrative, animation, and hybrid productions, where I oversee planning, coordination, scheduling, crew communication, and production logistics from development through post-production. I am especially drawn to producing because it allows me to bridge creative ideas with execution—helping teams stay aligned, supported, and focused while navigating the realities of time, resources, and workflow. My experience across departments—animation, camera, art, and post-production—allows me to communicate effectively with creatives while maintaining structure and accountability. I value clear communication, thoughtful planning, and collaboration, and I take pride in creating production environments where creative teams can do their best work. As I approach graduation, I am excited to begin working with clients outside of school and to grow my producing practice through freelance opportunities. I am eager to support creative projects of all sizes, whether that means coordinating an animation production, producing a short film, or helping structure a project so it can move forward smoothly. Areas I can support include: Producing animation projects (including stop-motion) Producing live-action narrative or hybrid projects Production coordination and planning Scheduling, logistics, and workflow organization Creative development support and project structure Communication and coordination across creative teams I am motivated, detail-oriented, and genuinely invested in helping creative ideas become finished projects. I look forward to collaborating with clients who value organization, creativity, and a thoughtful production process.
