Director & Story-Driven Video Editor | Branded Films & Documentaries
I’m a video editor focused on branded films, documentaries, long-form content, and story-driven video. My strongest work starts when there’s a lot of footage, interviews, ideas, or material, but the story isn’t obvious yet. I find the structure, decide what matters, and shape the footage into something clear, engaging, and worth watching. My editing work has helped projects reach millions of views across social platforms, increase brand visibility, and grow audiences from essentially zero into thousands of engaged followers. I focus heavily on storytelling, pacing, hooks, structure, and emotional rhythm, not just cuts and effects. My work includes: • Branded films and mini-documentaries • Documentary and interview-driven editing • Long-form YouTube and episodic content • Commercial and campaign videos • Founder-led and interview-based content • Short-form narrative and social content • Sound design, music, and colour grading I’m especially comfortable working with interviews and unscripted footage, finding the strongest moments, building a narrative arc, and removing anything that doesn’t serve the story. I work primarily in Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve, including professional Log colour grading and finishing. I don’t approach editing as simply assembling footage. I use editing to shape the story, strengthen the message, and make the audience care. If you have strong footage and need someone to find the best story inside it, send me a message. Lab
