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.

📩 Message me for selected portfolio samples based on your project. I create AI video ads, UGC-style ads, paid social creatives, product videos, and brand content for companies that need polished videos ready to launch, test, or publish. 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 what you need. I work with brands, apps, SaaS companies, DTC teams, ecommerce brands, real estate businesses, finance companies, agencies, and growth teams that need high-quality video content for Meta, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, websites, landing pages, and product launches. 🎬 WHAT I CREATE • AI video ads • UGC-style video ads • Paid social creatives • Meta, TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube ads • Reels, Shorts, and short-form social videos • Product videos • App and SaaS videos • Ecommerce video ads • Real estate and finance video ads • AI-generated social media content • Cinematic brand videos and sponsor videos • AI-enhanced video editing • Edited UGC ads from raw footage • Static AI image ads • Founder videos, explainers, and longer-form brand content • Creative batches for testing hooks, angles, captions, and formats ⚡ I’m not just generating AI clips. I help turn products, offers, scripts, testimonials, raw footage, screen recordings, AI-generated visuals, and brand assets into polished videos that feel real, clear, and ready to use. My work combines: • Creative strategy • Scripting • AI video generation • AI image generation • UGC ad structure • Professional video editing • Captions • Voiceover • Sound design • Motion graphics • Post-production 🧠 WHAT MAKES MY WORK DIFFERENT Most AI creators stop at generation. Most editors only work with existing footage. I combine both. I can generate AI video and image assets, then professionally edit, pace, caption, sound-design, and polish the final piece so it feels like a real ad or brand video, not raw AI content. That means you can create more content, test more ideas, and move faster without needing a full production crew. 🚀 COMMON PROJECTS • 1 paid test video • 3-ad creative testing package • 5 to 10 short-form videos per month • AI product video • UGC-style ad edit • App or SaaS promo video • Ecommerce ad creative • Real estate or finance video ad • AI image + video campaign • Cinematic sponsor video • Founder, brand, or explainer video • Social media video content for ongoing posting 🛠️ TOOLS I USE OMNI, Veo 3.1, Seedance, Runway, Kling, Midjourney, Nano Banana, ElevenLabs, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, CapCut, and other AI/video tools depending on the project. But the tool is not the value. The value is knowing how to combine AI generation, professional editing, ad structure, pacing, captions, voiceover, sound, and brand direction into videos that are ready to launch. ✅ 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, or campaign goal, and I’ll suggest the best production path. 📩 If you need AI video ads, UGC-style creatives, paid social videos, product videos, or polished brand content, message me and I’ll send selected portfolio samples that match your project.

Most creators chase views; I help business owners chase revenue. With a degree in Film and Media Arts, 7+ years of experience, and over 300 videos produced, I bridge the gap between cinematic storytelling and digital marketing. I’ve built a global video marketing operation that helps business owners turn casual viewers into cash. My background in film means I understand the art of the story. My background in marketing means I understand the science of the sale. My Style: Timeless, Straightforward & Sales-Driven I don’t do over-edited, flashy videos that date themselves in six months, and I don't create content just for vanity metrics. My approach is rooted in clean, documentary-style storytelling engineered to convert. I focus on straight-to-the-point, high-converting content using powerful pacing, seamless B-roll, clean captions, and the perfect music track to build absolute trust. No cheap templates—just timeless assets that present your business with clarity and turn cold viewers into buyers. How I Help You Scale YouTube Strategy & Playlist Funnels: I lock in your "Content Pillars" and build 6-month roadmaps designed to move prospects from "who is this?" to "where do I pay?" High-Ticket Video Assets: From authority-building video series and workshops to educational content and automated lead-gen funnels, I build assets that establish immediate market authority. AI-Enhanced Production: I use cutting-edge AI (Runway Gen-3, LTX Studio, HeyGen) to create cinematic B-roll and hyper-realistic visuals, giving you high-end production value at a fraction of the cost. The Content Multiplier: I cut your long-form videos and workshops into high-impact vertical clips (Shorts, Reels, Threads content) to maximize your reach without extra filming days. Business Milestones & Client Results (The Receipts) I don’t just preach this stuff; my framework drives massive, tangible ROI for both my clients and my own business: Client Win (Consulting): Structured a YouTube funnel for a consultant that closed 3 high-ticket consulting gigs worth up to $10k each in just 2 months. Client Win (Authors & Speakers): Developed targeted video content for an author client that directly booked them premium speaking gigs and amplified book sales. High-Ticket Closes: Consistently scale revenue by locking in premium, multi-month client retainers and high-ticket project packages worth up to $15,000. The Authority: Built a highly engaged multi-channel community across Substack, Threads, and YouTube. My targeted workshops routinely pull 100+ sign-ups from highly qualified leads. Organic Growth: Hit the YouTube Partnership program, went viral multiple times on the platform, and generated over $22,000 in channel revenue in under a year. 🛠 The Toolkit Funnel Building & CRM: fgfunnels, Skool, Substack Strategy & Outbound: Instantly, Apollo, Drippi, vidIQ, Google Trends Editing & Production: Adobe Premiere Pro, CapCut, Riverside, Canva AI Stack: Runway, Midjourney, ElevenLabs, HeyGen, Gemini If you're ready to stop collecting empty views and start turning your expertise into premium clients, send me a message

I develop video concepts and direct AI-generated visuals _ I create the vision and strategy. What I do: • 🎨 AI visual production (Midjourney, VEO, SORA, NanoBanana, Kling) _ fully art-directed scenes • 🧠 Creative strategy & concept development _ hooks, narrative structure, storytelling flow • 🎬 High-level prompt engineering _ I direct visuals like a creative producer (composition, mood, lighting, pacing) • 🎯 Content strategy _ trends, psychology, platform-native storytelling (TikTok, Reels, Shorts) • ✍️ Scriptwriting _ retention-focused, hook-first writing that keeps people watching How I work: I craft the creative vision, build detailed AI prompts, and guide the process from concept to final visuals. I know how to work with editors, but my focus is strategy, storytelling, and visual direction _ not timeline editing. Best for: Brands and creators who need someone to think, concept, and art-direct — not just execute tasks. 📩 Let’s talk strategy. If you’re building content that needs a creative vision, not just editing _ I’m your person.
