About

I edit long-form documentaries, video essays and explainers, both talking-head and faceless. My work is story-first: pacing that keeps people watching without gimmicks, archival footage and B-roll that don’t look like stock, and motion graphics that explain rather than decorate, such as maps, diagrams, collage animation and kinetic type.

I care about sound as much as picture: voiceover, score and the moment of silence that lets an idea land. I can also write scripts and hooks, record or generate voiceover, and build a consistent visual system for a channel, so every video follows the same rules.

Three educational videos for my pop-science blog on linguistics and history. Collage motion graphics inspired by Vox — from script and research to voiceover, editing and animation, all done by me. The videos found their audience: the lead piece reached 20K+ views on a freshly created channel.
