My story

About

I focus on what teams actually hire for: YouTube edits that hold attention end-to-end, and repurposing—taking long-form video (podcasts, webinars, streams, brand talks) and shaping it into shorts that still feel intentionally edited, not auto-cropped.

Structure first, then polish: pacing and clarity before grade and mix. I work with brands, companies, and creator-led businesses that need dependable delivery specs.

DaVinci Resolve, After Effects, and the usual pipeline; I care about judgment, retention, and how the edit reads on a phone and in the feed.
