Hi, I'm Bernardo Araujo, a Senior Video Editor with 15+ years of experience, specializing in editing, video production, and content for advertising. I started my career in Brazil and worked across editing and post-production before founding my freelance agency, Dash Films, where I collaborated with agencies to produce commercial work for brands like Ford, Spotify, and Seara. In 2017 I emigrated to the United States to be close to family and, after earning a U.S. work permit, I advanced in the service industry as a manager in a high-volume bar. I’m now eager to return to my creative roots or expand my responsibilities in management, blending hands-on media production with strong operational leadership.
