Available to hire
Hi, I’m Maisie McFarlane, a creative and passionate Video Editor based in Matlock, Derbyshire. I’m a recent graduate with over five years’ experience in the Adobe Suite and a strong eye for storytelling, pacing, and post-production. My highest-graded university module was Post Production, reflecting my focus on polishing edits to engage audiences.
I love making content that feels engaging and purposeful—whether it’s interviews, promos, or social shorts—and I bring a collaborative, organized approach to every project, delivering polished results on deadline.
