I am a creative video editor and colourist with a strong background in narrative and educational content. A DaVinci Resolve Studio professional who combines dynamic editing pacing with cinematic color grading and pristine audio engineering. I specialize in 'edutainment'— transforming information into engaging visual stories that maximize viewer retention. My background in music production ensures a unique sense of rhythm and pacing in every cut. Why Me? While the industry standard often leans toward Premiere Pro, I have mastered DaVinci Resolve Studio to operate as a one-man post-production house, delivering not just a cut, but a fully graded, sound-mixed, and polished final product faster and more efficiently, elevating the production value of every project I touch.
