Available to hire
I’m Vanessa Chawi, a Montreal-based trilingual digital content creator, video editor, videographer, and motion designer with 8 years of experience crafting platform-ready campaigns. I lead end-to-end projects—from creative concept development and studio/location shoots to editing, color grading, sound finishing, and motion graphics—so the final work supports clear engagement and sales goals.
I combine cinematic storytelling with marketing strategy to deliver short-form social content, campaign assets for paid ads, event coverage, and produced educational materials. I also collaborate closely with producers and cross-functional teams to turn complex ideas (including AI-driven workflows) into clean scripts, storyboards, demos, GIFs, and animations that fit each brand’s voice and audience.
