I have 5 years turning raw footage into scroll-stopping content, specializing in short-form video — Reels, Shorts, TikTok — and I can take any brief from zero to publish-ready: motion design, sound design, AI voiceover, subtitles. I started by building my own channels from scratch, and now I help brands and creators do the same. Reference-driven, deadline-faithful, and client-first.
