I help creators, podcasts, and brands turn long-form conversations into engaging YouTube videos and short-form content.
My focus is not just cutting clips — I build strong hooks, clean pacing, emotional storytelling, B-roll structure, captions, sound design, and polished delivery for YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn.
I have experience editing podcast episodes, leadership content, YouTube packages, shorts, trailers, and social media clips. I work with Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, and stock/music platforms like Artlist.
What I can help with:
- YouTube video editing
- Podcast editing
- Short-form clips/Reels/TikToks
- Hook creation
- B-roll selection
- Captions and subtitles
- Sound design and music pacing
- Thumbnail support
- Full episode packages
I care about clear communication, fast delivery, and making the final video feel professional, emotional, and easy to watch.

E-commerce Video Editor & Performance Copywriter
I build ad creatives that scale brands. Not pretty videos. Profitable ones.
If you're running e-commerce ads and tired of creatives that get views but not sales — that’s exactly what I fix.
I create short-form ad videos + direct-response copy built for one thing:
👉 higher conversions
👉 lower CPA
👉 scalable performance
✅ What I do:
• High-converting UGC & ad videos
• Scroll-stopping hooks & scripts
• Performance ad copy
• Creative strategy & testing angles
• Retention-focused editing
🧠 How I work:
I don’t edit for aesthetics.
I build creatives around attention → emotion → belief → action.
If it doesn’t sell, it doesn’t ship.
📈 Best fit:
E-commerce & DTC brands running paid ads who want to scale.
You don’t hire an editor.
You hire someone who thinks like a marketer.
Send me your product + goal and I’ll tell you straight if it’s worth doing.
