I'm a video editor, filmmaker, and photographer based in Lima, Peru, delivering social-first and corporate content for YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and the web. I specialize in storytelling, pacing, color grading, audio cleanup, subtitles and captions, and delivering multiple aspect ratios on tight timelines. I also bring drone cinematography (UAV), 360° capture and light motion graphics/VFX to projects. I’m comfortable with remote workflows, tight deadlines, and organized handoffs, and I lead a small operation focused on consistent, publish-ready outputs across platforms and formats.
