I help brands, agencies, and creators turn ideas and raw footage into high-quality video content that captures attention and drives results. With nearly two decades of professional experience in video production and editing, I specialize in creating polished, strategic video content built for today’s online platforms, including Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and LinkedIn. But I’m not just a video editor. I understand how video fits into content strategy, marketing, and audience growth, and I help my clients turn video into a powerful tool for building their brand online. I consider myself more of a digital marketer who leads with video. I also practice what I preach. I actively create video content for my own personal brand. Here I sell paid courses and digital products with organic Instagram content and Meta ads. This side project of mine helps me stay closely connected to what’s actually working on social media platforms. Services I Offer: 1. Video Editing: Send me your footage or ideas, and I’ll turn it into engaging, professional video content designed for the online world. I specialize in short-form and marketing videos that capture attention quickly and keep viewers watching. Projects include: • Instagram Reels • TikTok videos • YouTube Longform and Shortform • Podcast clips • Talking-head content • Social media content repurposing 2. On-Site Video Production: I provide professional video production services for brands and businesses that need high-quality video captured on location. Equipment includes: • 4K cinema cameras • Professional lighting • Wireless audio systems • Gimbals and stabilization • Drone footage Combined with nearly 20 years of experience behind the camera. 3. Remote Video Recording Setup: Not sure how to record your own content? I can help you create a simple, professional recording setup at home or in your office, then guide you through how to film your own talking-head videos. You send the footage, and I turn it into polished content for your social media channels. 4. Content Strategy & Consulting: If you're not sure where to start with video, I can help you develop a repeatable process for scripting, recording, editing, and publishing video content. I regularly collaborate with founders, marketing teams, creators, and agencies who want to build their presence through video. If you're producing talking-head videos, educational content, podcast clips, or short-form videos for social media, I can help turn your recordings into clean, engaging content that builds trust with your audience. I regularly work with: • Founders building personal brands • Coaches and consultants • Agency owners • Podcast hosts • Educators and course creators A Little More About Me: I’ve been working professionally in video production since 2010 across freelance, corporate, agency, and consulting roles. Over the years, I’ve worked with companies in many industries helping them use video to build their brand, communicate their message, grow their audience, and sell more product & services. My background in both video production and marketing allows me to approach projects with a strategic mindset — not just a creative one. My goal on Upwork is to become a trusted video partner for your business — someone you can rely on not just for editing, but for helping you produce video content that supports your marketing and growth. The bottom line: Video is one of the most powerful communication tools available today. If video can help grow your business...I’m here to make sure it does. Let's work together. Send me a message and tell me a little about your project. I'd be happy to discuss ideas and see how I can help. Pittsburgh, PA-based but open to travel.

Multimedia artist who believes in a human-centric, interdisciplinary approach to art and media. Areas of expertise include video editing (my degree), graphic art, illustration, and writing. My work is highly influenced by my knowledge of the inner lives and behavior of people, and the interconnected nature of those art forms which aim to connect with them. So I'm a bit of a renaissance woman — just don't ask me to dance.

📩 Message me with your product, offer, brand, or campaign goal and I’ll send selected portfolio samples based on your project. I create AI video ads, AI-generated commercials, static ad creatives, product images, and campaign-ready assets for brands and agencies that need polished content without the cost, time, and complexity of a traditional shoot. My work is built for companies that want more than raw AI clips or generic AI images. I combine creative direction, scripting, AI video generation, AI image generation, product-focused visuals, professional editing, pacing, captions, voiceover, sound design, image refinement, and post-production to create finished assets that feel intentional, polished, and ready to launch. Many of my strongest and most recent projects are not shown publicly because of client privacy, NDA restrictions, or campaign confidentiality, so I share the most relevant samples privately depending on your project. 🎬 WHAT I CREATE • AI-generated commercials • AI video ads • Paid social video creatives • UGC-style video ads • Product videos • App and SaaS video ads • Ecommerce video ads • Real estate and finance video ads • Static ad creatives • AI product images • Product lifestyle images • AI-enhanced campaign visuals • Image ad sets for Meta, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and landing pages • Brand visuals and campaign assets • Founder videos and explainers • Cinematic sponsor videos • Creative batches for testing hooks, angles, visuals, captions, and formats ⚡ HIGH-PRODUCTION-VALUE CREATIVE WITHOUT A FULL SHOOT Traditional commercial production often requires locations, talent, crew, shoot days, equipment, photographers, editors, designers, and a large production budget. AI changes the production model, but only when it is handled with strong creative direction and professional post-production. That is where I focus. I can take your product, offer, script, raw footage, testimonials, screen recordings, references, brand assets, or existing campaign materials and turn them into polished video and image creatives for Meta, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, landing pages, product launches, ecommerce campaigns, and brand campaigns. 🧠 WHAT MAKES MY WORK DIFFERENT Most AI creators stop at generation. Most video editors only work with existing footage. Most designers only create static visuals. I combine all three. I can generate AI video, AI images, product visuals, campaign assets, and ad variations, then professionally edit, refine, pace, caption, sound-design, and polish the final pieces so they feel like real campaign assets, not raw AI output. The goal is not just to create something that looks interesting. The goal is to create clear, usable, brand-aware creative assets that can support real campaigns. 🚀 COMMON PROJECTS • AI commercial for a product, brand, or campaign • Paid social video ad for Meta, TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube • Static ad creative set • AI product image set • Product lifestyle image campaign • 3–5 ad creative testing package • UGC-style ad using AI, raw footage, or spokesperson content • AI product video for ecommerce or product launches • App or SaaS promo video • Real estate or finance video ad • AI image + video campaign assets • Brand video, founder video, or explainer • Monthly creative production for brands or agencies 🛠️ TOOLS & WORKFLOW I use leading AI video, AI image, AI voice, and post-production tools, including Veo, Runway, Kling, Seedance, Midjourney, ElevenLabs, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, and CapCut. But the tool is not the value. The value is knowing how to combine AI generation, creative direction, ad structure, product visuals, editing, image refinement, pacing, captions, sound, and brand polish into final assets that are actually usable. ✅ HOW I WORK I usually work async because it keeps the process faster, clearer, and better documented. Send me your product, offer, brief, references, raw footage, script, visual direction, or campaign goal, and I’ll suggest the best production path. Most projects are structured as fixed-price milestones or clear creative packages. Best fit for brands, agencies, founders, ecommerce teams, SaaS companies, real estate businesses, finance companies, and growth teams that need polished AI-enhanced video and image content for real campaigns, not low-effort automated AI clips. 📩 If you need AI video ads, AI-generated commercials, static ad creatives, product images, UGC-style ads, or campaign-ready brand assets, message me and I’ll send selected portfolio samples that match your project.
