I am highly skilled with Adobe Audition, Adobe Premiere Pro, Descript, Eleven Labs, Riverside.fm, Canva, Headliner, Zoom, Zencastr, Libsyn, and Buzzsprout and CapCut for full-length audio and YouTube productions, and for Social Media headline clips and promotion. I am a former BBC World TV Producer and NPR radio station producer who rose to executive leadership in both organizations.

My clients' work is on Apple, Spotify, Amazon Music, YouTube, CNN, BBC News and all major platforms. I understand the challenges many podcasters have in constructing their episodes, designing the format, choosing and using their music, and becoming hosts and interviewers. For more experienced podcasters, I master and schedule their episodes and can provide feedback and data. * I respond to challenges and questions the same day * My turnaround time is 24 hours when needed * I convert poor sound and/or pictures into fully mastered quality * I can be trusted to make editorial decisions, and/or work to your instruction, at short notice when needed. * I produce long-form shows, short clips, show notes, social media videos, audiogram and video posts, or scripts for websites and social media. My freelance production and consulting business has a committed group of large and small business clients, covering topics ranging from non-profit issue advocacy and human resource management, to mental health therapists, sports, and law firms. As well as soup-to-nuts post-production, I analyze audience statistics and advise clients on marketing and sponsorship strategies. I teach Podcasting and Video production at the Georgetown University Graduate School of Arts. As an experienced broadcaster, I also have a mature, professional and authoritative voice-over style with a British accent, if needed.

    Hey, thanks for taking the time to click on my profile! For the majority of my working history I've been around media. I have experience in Moderation, Project Management / Coordination, and now for the past few years, editing. I started learning on Avid and Premiere Pro but really felt comfort using Davinci Resolve. I'm looking for a small creator I can work with and grow my portfolio. I'm very open and communicative, I think that's a big key when collaborating on a project so I hope to find a creator on here I could mesh well with. If I'm not the right fit for a current project I hope that you keep me in mind if there is a better fit for me on the next one! I've linked my Editor Reel in my profile for future consideration. Thanks again for reading and please don't hesitate to reach out!

    Originally on the path to medical school after earning my bachelor’s degree from UCLA, I decided to gain valuable real-world business experience before pursuing that journey. During this time, I discovered my passion for social media and marketing while working at a startup, where I gained hands-on experience growing brands and creating impactful campaigns. Inspired by this, I launched my own successful social media accounts, mastering content creation, audience growth, and brand storytelling. Since then, I’ve collaborated with numerous brands on creative campaigns, consulted companies to optimize their social strategies, and built a career as a social media manager, content creator, and consultant. My expertise spans influencer management, viral content creation, and driving engagement through authentic storytelling. I just recently hopped on Upwork to take on more clients (hence the lack of previous work on this page-I am happy to send you previous work with clients/my portfolio). Let’s work together to bring your brand to life and achieve your social media goals!

    My name's Daniel and I'm a video editor and motion designer based in Los Angeles. I love to put pieces together to create a stunning and impactful visual message, whether those pieces are animated sequences or live-action footage. Clients I've created content for include: 💠 Adobe 💠 Cisco 💠 Envato 💠 Health.com 💠 Blockstream I've produced corporate promotional videos solo from start to finish (pre-production, script writing, directing, editing, and motion graphics). I've also worked with teams of editors and producers at a studio where I remotely edited/mastered videos for clients like Adobe and Cisco. I'm experienced with remote editing workflows and tools like Slack, Frame IO, Figma, Dropbox, and LucidLink. Software-wise, I feel at home in the Adobe CC post-production suite (After Effects, Premiere Pro, Illustrator, Photoshop, Audition, Lightroom). I've also designed a couple websites in WordPress and dabbled in Unreal Engine 5.
