Production-Ready. Marketing Fluent.

Video Producer & Editor | Built to Plug Into a Production Team

2:32 Demo Reel

Thanks for taking a few minutes to review my work.

I come from a marketing and graphic design background, but over the past several years I’ve been producing and editing branded and corporate video independently, handling shoots, lighting setups, audio capture, and post-production.

I’m now looking to move more intentionally into a dedicated production environment where I can contribute immediately and continue leveling up.

WHAT I BRING TO A PRODUCTION TEAM

  • End-to-end production experience (solo-operated shoots)
  • Multi-camera editing and interview-driven storytelling
  • Lighting and audio competency for controlled environments
  • Branded content and testimonial production
  • Comfort in utility roles (editor / shooter / hybrid support)
  • Marketing fluency, understanding messaging, funnels, and deliverables

I don’t just think in shots, I think in outcomes.

WHY MY BACKGROUND IS AN ASSET

Most production specialists focus purely on visuals.

My background allows me to:

  • Translate client messaging into strong visual execution
  • Anticipate marketing deliverables during production
  • Align content with campaigns, funnels, and brand positioning
  • Contribute beyond the camera when needed

That flexibility tends to make teams more efficient.

TOOLS & WORKFLOW

  • Adobe Premiere Pro

  • After Effects (logo builds & lower thirds)

  • Multi-camera editing workflows

  • Audio cleanup and mixing

  • AI-assisted editing for workflow efficiency

AVAILABILITY

Open to:

  • Full-time in-house production roles
  • Production company team roles
  • Contract / overflow support
