Expert Video Producer & Editor, Brand, Social, B2B, Marketing Videos

I’m a video producer, editor, and copywriter who helps brands, startups, and B2B companies create high-performing social and marketing videos for LinkedIn, Instagram, websites, and sales teams — including short-form clips, testimonials, explainers, and brand films. I bring 15+ years of experience writing, producing, and editing content for HBO, Discovery, and Apple TV, along with major brands like Mattel, Verizon, and McDonald’s, delivering broadcast-level storytelling for commercial video. My background in television, streaming, and feature film production allows me to apply cinematic pacing, structure, and narrative clarity to brand videos, ads, explainers, testimonials, and social campaigns designed to capture attention and drive results. I run a full-service video production and content marketing studio working with brands, SaaS companies, startups, and nonprofits to produce video ads, social content, testimonials, pitch videos, and written copy that supports sales, marketing, and growth teams. Clients hire me when they want polished, professional content that combines editorial storytelling with marketing strategy — not generic freelancer output. I also offer script development, screenplay coverage, and story consulting for brands, studios, and creators who need clear structure, character, and narrative flow for narrative, branded, or long-form video projects.
