Hey! I have been working as a Freelance Video Editor and Assistant Video Editor in LA for the last 8 years.

Clients I've worked with: - Netflix - Disney - Discovery - HBO - Warner Bros - Skybound Entertainment - Sports Illustrated - Nickelodeon - MLB I love taking a project from raw idea into final polished piece. I am a multidisciplinary production power house. From organizing and ingesting hundreds of hours of footage to creating title animations for final delivery. I have done it all. Happy to edit serious corporate content or more light hearted media. Excited to work with you!

Super Bowl commercials. Avengers: Age of Ultron. Taylor Swift stadium graphics. Feature film title sequences. $4M+ in digital brand launches for Sanrio and Care Bears. Worked with the world’s biggest brands including Google, Toyota, FX, Marvel, Warner Bros, and Target. I’m a Creative Director with 15+ years building brand systems and motion work that scales across digital, broadcast, and physical environments. That combination is rarer than it sounds, and it’s what separates a brand that looks good in a deck from one that actually holds up in the world. What I do for clients on Upwork: Brand Identity — Logo systems, style guides, visual language, and everything needed to launch or evolve a brand with confidence. Motion Graphics — Title sequences, broadcast packages, documentary graphics, social content, and campaign visuals built to move. Creative Direction — Strategic thinking and visual clarity for projects that need both. I take on select projects where I can do the work right. If you have something worth building, let’s talk.
