I'm a Chicago-based video editor, motion designer, and writer with 6 years in post-production. I believe the viewer's attention must be earned quickly, so I shape messages tightly, pace them crisply, and guide the eye with motion graphics while trusting the audience to keep up. I understand who I'm talking to, tell them the story so it resonates, and treat everything else as a tool to serve that purpose. Whether collaborating with a creative director or translating a stakeholder's half-formed idea solo, I turn 'we'll know it when we see it' into 'wow, that’s it.' I talk to the right people, translate feedback into clear briefs, and deliver work that resonates across industries. I treat every asset as a tool to serve the story.
