Short-Form Video Editor | Reels & Ads | Motion Graphics + VSL
I help brands and content creators grow through short-form video, Reels and Ads edited to not just look good but also stop the scroll and hold watch-through, plus motion graphics and VSLs built to convert. Before I touch a single clip, I look at what the video needs to do: where the hook has to land, where attention typically drops, and how pacing should build toward the action you want. That thinking happens before the timeline, not during it. 6 years inside real client pipelines, short-form for brands and creators, Meta and TikTok ad edits, motion graphics, and VSLs, have taught me that retention and conversion come from structure first, polish second. 🎯 WHAT I WORK ON • Short-form Reels & Shorts, edited for retention, shares and platform-native pacing • UGC and talking-head content, polished but authentic • Motion graphics, intros, lower thirds, transitions and animated brand elements • VSLs, scripted pacing designed to build toward the offer • Meta & TikTok ad creatives, edited to convert, not just look good 🔧 TOOLS & WORKFLOW • Adobe Premiere Pro & After Effects • Illustrator & Photoshop for supporting graphics • AI-assisted workflows to speed up turnaround without cutting corners on quality 🏆 WHY CLIENTS STICK AROUND • Top Rated Plus on Upwork, consistently rated among top performers • Featured by Zach King, recognized by one of the biggest names in motion design • I ask the right questions upfront, so revisions are about refinement, not rebuilding • Trend-aware, I pay attention to what's currently working in short-form and ads • Deadlines are commitments, not estimates Send me your footage, script or brief, and I'll tell you exactly how I'd approach it before we start. No vague promises, just a clear plan and an edit built to do its job.
