Available to hire
Hi, I’m Samantha Kolikow, a young and aspiring freelance video editor with a background in film studies from Curtin University. I craft clean, engaging edits using Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, and Final Cut Pro, with a meticulous eye for color, pacing, and story.
I’ve collaborated on promo films, music videos, and cultural events across Poland and Australia. I thrive on teamwork, adapting to different creative styles, and delivering high-quality results under tight deadlines. Currently, I also work as a Social Integration Instructor, which keeps me connected to the community and helps me bring fresh perspectives to my video projects.
