Video Editor | UGC | Da Vinci Resolve | Photographer | Videographer | Cinematic

Before any of that editing work happens, there's a whole planning process I'm involved in with collaborators, clients, and the crew. It usually starts with sitting down together and hashing out the script — that part alone can take a few hours, going back and forth until everyone's aligned on what the video actually needs to say. From there, the conversation shifts toward storytelling: how we want to frame the narrative, what emotional beats we're hitting, and how the story should unfold for the viewer. Once that foundation is set, we move into directing — figuring out how the video should actually look and feel on the day of the shoot. That means talking through shot composition, pacing on set, how the talent or subjects should be directed, and making sure everyone involved (crew included) is on the same page before a single frame gets recorded. I've found that this upfront collaboration makes a huge difference later on — when the planning and storytelling are solid, the edit comes together so much more naturally because I already know the intent behind every shot.

I have experience editing for businesses making sure that everything is high quality and eye catching. I focus on creating videos that align with each brand's identity while capturing the audience's attention from the very first seconds. I pay close attention to pacing, color, sound, and overall presentation to deliver professional content that leaves a lasting impression.

DaVinci Resolve is the software I know inside and out, it's what I reach for on every client project, whether that's a long-form video, YouTube Shorts, Reels, event highlights, travel content, music videos, or automotive work. Over time I've gotten deep into the tool itself: multi-layer timelines, color grading (S-Log3, C-log3, V-log, Log-c, N-log, F-log, D-log), audio mixing, subtitles, Fusion for motion graphics, speed ramps, transitions, you name it. I also know how to export cleanly for whatever platform a project's headed to.
