Video Editor & Motion Designer | 15+ Years in Post-Production | Storytelling, Video Editing, Motion Graphics, Sound Design & AI-Assisted Creative Workflows I’m a video editor and motion designer with over 15 years of professional experience in post-production, with a background in film and television from NYU Tisch. My work has always been rooted in storytelling: shaping emotion, structure, rhythm, and clarity through editing, motion, and sound. I’ve worked across broadcast, digital, branded, documentary, educational, and promotional content, with clients and partners including A&E Networks, NBC Sports, Saks Fifth Avenue, Morgan Stanley, the United States Tennis Association, and major universities such as Northwestern, Harvard, Georgetown, Dartmouth, and others. My foundation is traditional post-production craft, editing, motion design, sound, pacing, and visual storytelling, but I’m also deeply interested in how new tools can strengthen the creative process rather than flatten it. Over time, that has grown into a strong focus on AI-assisted workflows, generative media, and emerging creative systems that support faster iteration, smarter asset discovery, technical problem-solving, and new forms of production. I’m especially interested in the space where human editorial judgment meets advanced creative technology: using modern tools to improve workflow, expand what’s possible, and reduce friction, while keeping story, taste, and intention at the center. Whether I’m cutting a trailer, building a motion package, shaping a documentary story, solving a technical post problem, or exploring AI-driven production pipelines, I care about making work that feels clear, polished, and alive. Feel free to connect or reach out if you'd like to see my reel or talk about post-production, motion design, or AI-forward creative workflows.
