I’m a video editor and content creator specializing in turning raw footage into polished, high-impact stories across corporate, creative, and social platforms. I blend storytelling with technical precision, maintaining meticulous organization, advanced motion graphics, and professional color grading to deliver content that exceeds expectations while meeting tight deadlines.
Whether it’s dynamic social content or refined brand narratives, I transform raw footage into compelling visuals. As a project ambassador and collaborator, I align content strategies with marketing goals, drive community engagement on anime-focused content (including viral TikTok videos), and contribute to brand visibility across platforms. I consistently create edits on popular anime shows on TikTok between March 2024 and September 2025, accumulating nearly 2 million views.
