Available to hire
I’m Ieva Sarmiņa, a Latvian video professional and director focused on live programming, documentary work, and high-quality post-production. I’ve built my experience across TV series, online formats and social media, where I supervise editing workflows, shape creative direction, and ensure every episode feels polished, dynamic and story-driven.
I enjoy collaborating with teams—from live broadcasts to long-form documentary projects—and bringing visual style to life through editing, color/style workflows and clear narrative pacing. Alongside my production roles, I also contribute to educational and social projects and work on documentary releases that aim to inform, connect and spark conversation.
