Available to hire
Toronto-based senior video editor with 20+ years of experience turning raw footage into stories that connect. A true one-stop post shop — I take projects from raw footage all the way to final delivery: offline edit, motion graphics and animation, colour grading, sound design, and multi-platform versioning, all from one set of hands.
No chasing multiple vendors, no things lost in handoff. My background as a writer and director brings a story-first instinct to every cut, with particular strength in comedy, dialogue, and emotionally driven work — finding the funniest take, shaping the rhythm of a scene, or landing the beat that makes a performance sing. Expert in Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, and FCPX.
