Hi, I’m Derek Mio. I’m a freelance editor, social media editor, and promoter who loves turning raw footage into engaging stories for the web. Since 2017 I’ve built a varied portfolio—from long-form edits to short promotional reels—while collaborating with creators, studios, and brands to boost reach and impact. Most recently I produced and hosted projects with Terasaki Budokan, and I’ve helped launch campaigns across YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. I thrive in fast-paced environments and enjoy blending creative storytelling with practical marketing to help audiences connect with content.
