Video Editor · Short-Form & Storytelling

I shape raw footage into short-form social, brand, and narrative pieces — edited for pacing, structure, and retention, and built to hold attention from the first frame.

Story-first hooks & retention

00:00 — Profile

Story-driven editing across formats.

I'm a video editor specializing in story and pacing — shaping raw, unstructured footage into polished pieces that capture attention quickly and sustain it.

Short-form social is a core focus — Reels, Shorts, and TikTok crafted around strong hooks, rhythm, and viewer retention. I also edit long-form narrative and brand content when the story calls for more room to develop.

Motion graphics, color, and sound are handled in-house, with AI-assisted editing integrated into the workflow to accelerate turnaround without compromising quality.
