I'm a video editor and storyteller who cares just as much about why a cut works as how to make it.

My background spans short-form and long-form digital content, documentary and story-driven editing, commercial work, social video, and creative post-production. I’m comfortable moving between fast, personality-driven edits and projects that need more patience, structure and emotional control.

I tend to approach editing as problem-solving. Sometimes the answer is pacing. Sometimes it’s restructuring an entire section, finding the right piece of music, simplifying what’s on screen, or figuring out how to visually communicate something that wasn’t obvious in the footage.

Story is always the foundation, but I like experimenting too. Motion design, animation, unusual formats and new production workflows are all part of how I keep expanding what I can make.

I’m especially interested in work where strong editing can turn good material into something people genuinely want to keep watching.
