I'm a Video Editor & Motion Designer based in Vancouver, BC. For the past two years, I edited and animated episodes for the YouTube channel Bumpy as a freelancer — handling everything from scene composition and motion design to sound mixing and final delivery using After Effects and Premiere Pro. In that time, I sharpened my eye for pacing, visual rhythm, and cinematic storytelling, working in both 2D and 3D space to create dynamic, emotionally-driven sequences. Many of the episodes I worked on reached over 300K views, with some surpassing 1 million. I'm quick to adapt, confident in a collaborative workflow, and always focused on delivering polished, engaging content.
