About

Hi there! I’m a dedicated video editor with over a dozen years of experience spanning music videos, advertisements, TV series, and feature films. I enjoy shaping storytelling through precise pacing, rhythm, and collaboration with directors and producers to realize creative visions.

In my freelance work I’ve tackled a wide range of projects—from Greenpeace campaigns to indie features—and I’m always excited to learn new techniques, take on fresh challenges, and keep audiences engaged through strong editorial choices.
