I help founders, coaches, and brands turn raw footage into short form video that keeps people watching. My focus is UGC style and talking head content: the kind of video that shows up in feeds every day and needs to feel natural, fast paced, and on brand every single time. Recent work includes reel edits for a health practitioner in San Diego, a podcast host in Canada, a public adjusting company president, and Shopify focused content for ecommerce brands. Across all of it, my priority stays the same: clean cuts, strong pacing, clear audio, and a look that feels professional without losing the creator's personality. What you can expect working with me: Fast turnaround on batches of short form content Editing built around retention, not just polish Clear communication and deadlines that hold A workflow that scales if you need daily or weekly content If you are a founder recording your own talking head videos, a coach building a content presence, or a brand managing a stream of UGC clips, I can help you keep up the pace without sacrificing quality. Let's talk about what you're working on and how I can fit into your content workflow
