I’m a short-form video editor specialising in TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts for creators and brands. I focus on making edits that feel natural, paced and engaging, with a strong sense of rhythm and flow. My background in music production helps me cut to timing, choose music intentionally, and keep edits feeling cohesive rather than over-edited. I’ve worked on short-form content across platforms including Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts, handling everything from rough cuts through to final delivery. This includes pacing and structure, music selection and sync, basic colour correction, audio cleanup, and formatting for each platform. I keep communication straightforward and timelines clear, and I’m comfortable working with feedback to get the edit feeling right without dragging things out.
