Hi, I'm Colin Williams. I'm a video editor and motion graphics designer with 13+ years of experience crafting engaging long-form and short-form content for digital platforms. I built and managed a YouTube channel that grew to 13K subscribers and nearly 2 million views through disciplined editing, strong narrative pacing, and a consistent brand voice. I’m proficient in Premiere Pro and After Effects and skilled at adding motion graphics and visual effects to educational content, while making independent creative decisions to keep projects moving. I’ve maintained a cohesive visual brand across outputs, from templates and lower thirds to transitions and graphic packages. I work well with producers and program leadership to hit deadlines and deliver polished final cuts, and I routinely optimize content for audience retention. My work has been recognized with Outstanding Performance Awards in 2022, 2024, and 2025, and I thrive in remote, independent environments.
