About

I’m Iryna Kostyrko, a creative video editor and visual storyteller based in Chester, UK. I combine a strong graphic design foundation with theatre and acting experience to craft engaging narratives with excellent pacing, composition, and audience focus. I’m experienced with Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and CapCut, and I enjoy shaping everything from captions and titles to colour consistency and sound to make digital content feel polished and intentional.

I’ve also developed original creative concepts and visual identities through my KUMA Project work, translating story and character ideas into immersive products for children and families. Alongside traditional editing, I’m currently exploring AI-assisted video production—using emerging tools with clear creative direction to experiment with atmosphere, character, and cinematic storytelling. I’m particularly passionate about creating high-quality content for travel, lifestyle, fashion, and beauty, and I work independently with a structured, adaptable approach.
