Hi, I’m Joel Ampong, a video editor based in Accra, Ghana, and I’ve spent the last 4+ years shaping stories across documentary, interview, podcast, educational, and narrative formats. I’ve cut 500+ hours of footage across 20+ projects, with a focus on structure and pacing that keeps audiences engaged through full-length pieces rather than just short highlights. I’m also experienced in podcast post-production, including cleaning and leveling dialogue, removing noise and dead air, tightening multi-speaker flow, and creating consistent intro/outro segments with light sound design. I take pride in making complex ideas feel clear and watchable in long-form episodes, and I enjoy collaborating across audio and video deliverables for releases on multiple platforms.
