I taught myself video editing the way a lot of the best editors in this space do — not through film school, but through the internet itself. I grew up online, started earning through digital work early, and treated every project as a chance to reverse-engineer what makes content actually hold attention. That self-taught, internet-first background means I don't just know editing software — I understand platform behavior, retention mechanics, and what makes someone stop scrolling.
Over the past four years, I've specialized in talking-head videos, vlogs, ads, and short-form content, most notably spending two years as the editor for a well-known creator in the business and self-improvement space. That work sharpened a specific skill set: building motion graphics and animated call-outs that make dense or technical points easy to follow, pacing long-form videos so viewers stay locked in rather than clicking away, and mixing SFX and audio — layering music, sound design, and voice levels — to give cinematic vlogs real atmosphere and give talking-head segments punch and rhythm.
What I think makes me different is that I've always sourced my own clients rather than relying on freelance platforms — which means I'm used to understanding a creator's voice and goals directly, not just executing a brief. I'm just as comfortable with fast, high-energy retention editing as I am with slower, more cinematic storytelling, and I like moving between the two because it keeps my instincts sharp. I'm at a point now where I'm looking to bring that same level of craft and ownership to a new creator or team — someone who wants an editor who treats their channel like it's my own.
