I'm a trusted editor with 30 years of practical experience in the Film & TV industry, specializing in Post-Production as an Editor, VFX Editor and Assistant, and for over a decade I've been focused on Previsualization for Film, TV, Animation, Commercials, Game Cinematics and Theme Park Rides. I collaborate closely with directors and producers to shape visual storytelling, streamline workflows, and deliver polished previs and edit outputs that align with creative intent. When I'm not on project shoots, I enjoy walking my two dogs, practicing yoga, and collecting vinyl records, often DJing in a home setup. I bring a calm, detail-oriented approach to fast-paced environments and love helping teams translate ideas into compelling on-screen experiences.
