AI Workflows, Thought Leadership | Editorial Producer, Video Editor

I help founders, media teams, and expert-led organizations turn complex ideas and raw source material into credible video, podcasts, articles, and social content, then build the editorial systems that make production repeatable. My work combines editorial production, video editing, story development, content strategy, and AI-assisted workflows. I can take a project from research and creative brief through scripting, post-production, repurposing, distribution, and quality control while preserving brand voice, factual integrity, and human editorial judgment. What I can help you produce: • Long-form and short-form video for YouTube, LinkedIn, and social channels • Interview, podcast, documentary, and research-driven content • Scripts, articles, newsletters, carousels, clips, and social derivatives • Thought-leadership systems built from founder or subject-matter expertise • AI-assisted prompt libraries, content templates, and editorial QA workflows • Repeatable production systems for teams struggling with inconsistency or bottlenecks My background includes more than 10 years in investigative journalism, documentary storytelling, photography, digital publishing, and content operations, plus three years in advanced prompt engineering and high-risk AI content evaluation. I work primarily in DaVinci Resolve for video and use generative tools selectively for research, transcription, ideation, supporting visuals, repurposing, and workflow acceleration. Selected results: • Expanded Free Form AI’s podcast and LinkedIn production system, helping at least double podcast downloads within one month • Built AI-assisted editorial workflows for Automatic Leader that reduced manual intervention by 50 to 70 percent and automated as much as 90 percent of controlled production while preserving human review • Built and managed a nonprofit social-media playbook that grew Instagram by nearly 2,000 followers, reached the intended audience, and supported broader platform improvements that increased sales by at least 25 percent • Created recurring multimedia journalism series, documentary work, photo essays, interviews, and AI-assisted illustrations for publishers and nonprofit clients I am comfortable working from an established creative brief or helping define the editorial structure when the source material is still unorganized. Clients can expect clear scope, predictable delivery, thoughtful communication, and independent execution through structured review cycles. I am available for ongoing production partnerships, fractional editorial leadership, and scoped content-system builds. If you have valuable ideas or source material but need stronger structure, more consistent output, or a responsible way to integrate AI, send me the project details and intended audience.
