Available to hire
I’m Illia, a social-video editor who turns raw UGC and commercial footage into fast, engaging vertical edits for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and Facebook Reels. I focus on strong pacing, hook-first storytelling, clear captions, music/audio finishing, and platform-ready delivery.
I work comfortably with a structured workflow—from interpreting briefs and established styles to managing revisions, organizing files, and meeting tight deadlines. With experience across Premiere Pro and CapCut, plus essential colour and audio finishing, I aim to make every edit feel polished, consistent, and ready to perform.
