Most short-form content is edited to follow trends. The work I enjoy most, and the work clients come back for, is edited to feel human. I’m a freelance remote video editor with over a decade of experience focused on short-form, creator-led and social-first content. A lot of my work involves partnering closely with creators - getting to know their voice, their audience and their rhythm, and helping build consistency across their content over time. What I’m usually brought in for is storytelling judgement: shaping strong hooks, pacing and structure, paying close attention to sound design and captions, and making sure each edit feels intentional and watchable. Underneath that, I’m always looking for the heart of a piece - the human detail that makes it resonate rather than just perform. Alongside the creative work, I’m meticulous about organisation. Rushes, project bins and versions are kept clear and structured, which makes fast turnarounds smoother and collaboration easier, especially when projects evolve quickly or need to be handed over. I work closely with clients and creators, often from early ideas through to final delivery, helping shape content that fits current trends without losing authenticity. I’m comfortable working quickly, responding to feedback, and refining edits so they connect with the intended audience. I primarily edit in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects, but I adapt easily to new tools and workflows. The focus is always on the outcome, not the software. Recent work includes projects for Chanel, Macmillan Cancer Support, Waitrose, American Express and CVS Health. I work remotely, communicate clearly, and value long-term creative partnerships.

    uniE608 Chanel - 38 Berkeley Square
    This film documents the transformation of Chanel’s new London headquarters in Mayfair, following CEO Leena Nair as she walks through the space for the first time. Built around an intimate, observational approach, the edit balances architectural detail with human reaction by pairing moments of scale and craft with Leena’s personal reflections as the building begins to take shape. The challenge in the edit was to create a sense of anticipation and meaning around a space still in transition, allowing the story to feel forward-looking while grounded in Chanel’s values and identity. Careful attention was paid to pacing, music and tone, using restraint and rhythm to let the visuals breathe and the moments land naturally. The result is a film that feels considered and human, capturing not just the redesign of a building, but the spirit of what is to become.…
    uniE608 American Express - Small Business, Big Day - Winzer Cleaners
    Created as part of 15 Stories for American Express, this film captures the organised chaos of Winzer Cleaners in New York City during their busiest day of the year. As Broadway’s number one dry cleaner, the stakes are high, the pace relentless, and the margin for error slim - all of which shaped the editorial approach. The film is built around speed and precision. Fast-paced cutting, tightly structured sequences and rhythmic sound design are used to mirror the intensity of the day, placing the viewer directly inside the workflow as garments move rapidly through the space. The edit leans into momentum, using quick transitions and sharp timing to keep the energy high while maintaining clarity amid the volume and movement. Rather than slowing things down to explain, the story is told through action. Moments of coordination, problem-solving and teamwork are allowed to stack and build, creating a sense of pressure without tipping into chaos. The challenge in the edit was balancing excitement with readability by ensuring the pace feels exhilarating, not overwhelming, and that the pride behind the work remains front and centre. Focusing on rhythm, flow and detail, the film celebrates the craft, dedication and discipline behind a small business operating at full throttle - an approach recognised with a Gold award at the EVCOM London Film Awards.…
    uniE608 Unifii - Service Now
    Created to showcase Unifii’s expertise in ServiceNow platform management, this film takes a deliberately minimal, highly controlled editorial approach. Built entirely from locked-off interview shots, the edit relies on pace, rhythm and precision rather than visuals or cutaways to carry the story. The script is constructed in the edit itself. Multiple interviewees are interwoven at speed, often cut on a single word, to create a tightly structured narrative that feels cohesive and intentional despite being assembled from many voices. This word-by-word construction demanded close attention to cadence, tone and breath, ensuring the dialogue flows naturally while maintaining momentum. With no visual variation to lean on, clarity and restraint were essential. The edit focuses on timing, emphasis and rhythm to make complex ideas accessible, allowing the message to land cleanly without oversimplifying the subject. Sound, pacing and cut points do the heavy lifting, turning what could have been a static format into something dynamic and engaging. The result is a confident, sharply executed film that communicates Unifii’s strategic value with precision - an approach recognised with a Gold award at the EVCOM London Film Awards.…
    uniE608 Macmillan Cancer Support - LJ's Story
    Built around an intimate interview and observational moments shot on the streets of London, the film introduces LJ, a photographer whose warmth, humour and energy are immediately apparent. Alongside his interview, we see him at work photographing a model, clearly at ease behind the camera and deeply connected to his craft. These everyday moments act as an essential counterpoint, grounding the film in who LJ is rather than defining him solely by his diagnosis. Diagnosed with leukaemia just as he was about to begin university, LJ’s experience carries significant emotional weight. In the edit, the challenge was acknowledging that reality without leaning into sadness for its own sake. The focus remained on balance, allowing vulnerability to sit alongside resilience, personality and lightness, so the film never loses its sense of life. Pacing, structure and tone were carefully shaped through the interplay of interview and observational footage, creating rhythm and space for reflection. The intention was to make something emotionally honest yet approachable. A film that invites the viewer in, rather than asking them to brace themselves. Throughout, LJ’s voice leads the narrative, with the role of Macmillan Cancer Support woven in quietly and respectfully as part of his story. By centring humanity, craft and restraint, the edit allows a difficult subject to be experienced with clarity, warmth and care, leaving room for connection rather than overwhelm.…
    uniE608 Waitrose Community Matters Green Token
    This film was edited for Waitrose to mark the return of their Community Matters Green Token scheme, telling a story rooted in quiet impact rather than overt messaging. Built around the experience of a young woman who spent time in care and later found support through the charity Step by Step, the edit centres on warmth, dignity and possibility. Given the subject of youth homelessness, the editorial approach was deliberately restrained. The focus was never on hardship for its own sake, but on clarity, hope and forward movement. Careful attention was paid to pacing and structure, allowing the story to unfold in a way that feels accessible and human, while avoiding anything that might feel heavy-handed or exploitative. The film highlights how donations from Waitrose contribute to Step by Step’s Opportunities Fund, supporting practical, life-changing moments such as access to interview clothing or study materials. In the edit, these details are woven in subtly, grounding the film in real-world impact without shifting the tone away from the individual at its heart. Throughout, the aim was to balance authenticity with optimism by shaping a narrative that feels heartfelt and approachable, and that reflects the importance of community-led support without losing sight of the person behind the story. The result is a film that communicates purpose through care, and impact through simplicity.…
