Work Experience

Visual Designer and Editor at Half-Blood Hour, by Devin Eckhardt

February 1, 2024 - November 26, 2025

I create custom backgrounds for projects, crop and animate footage to fit platform ratios, and add animated subtitles and visual effects to maximize viewer retention within limited time and video space.

Editor at Livid, by Nick Schwab

October 1, 2024 - November 26, 2025

As the editor of the short film Livid, I organized all media for easy navigation, ensured preferred takes were easy to locate, and maintained frequent communication with the director to ensure the tone and pacing fit with the vision. Working from home, I adhered to a tight schedule and high industry standards in workflow and organization.
