About

I’m a film and video editor with 15 years of experience shaping story, pacing, performance, and mood across short films, music videos, web series, and corporate or promotional work. Because I often direct what I edit, I have a strong creative through-line from production decisions to final cut—plus a careful, feedback-friendly workflow with clear written notes.

I also bring rigorous media asset management experience from major studio productions, where I organised, labelled, and tracked large photo and video libraries to strict standards for teams and review pipelines. I edit in Adobe Creative Suite, DaVinci Resolve, and Final Cut Pro, and I’m available remotely for 10–40 hours per week.
