About

I am a visual storyteller with a long career in video editing and storytelling. The tools have changed over time, but storytelling remains my core goal.

Editing video and audio is my strength. I focus on details, with a keen eye and ear, and I aim for the viewer’s intended response. I have delivered thousands of projects involving editing, shooting, color grading and color correction, creating graphics, selecting music, and conducting full sound and audio mixes.
