I’m a video editor with a music producer’s ear and a storyteller’s instinct, forged across London and Los Angeles. I focus on finding the feeling in a project and shaping it into rhythm, pacing, and room presence that resonates across formats—from short social cuts to full on-demand courses. My work blends editorial craft with creative collaboration to elevate brands, concepts, and education through cinematic storytelling. I collaborate with motion graphics, VFX, and design teams to build algorithm-aware, audience-friendly content that drives retention and engagement. Whether leading pre-production or executing editor-to-creator workflows, I bring a calm, collaborative energy and a passion for cinematic storytelling that helps concepts come to life.
