Video Editing

I am a YouTube thumbnail editor who focuses on designing images that truly capture attention and encourage viewers to click. In the fast-moving world of YouTube, a thumbnail is often the deciding factor between someone skipping your video or choosing to watch it. Because of this, I take thumbnail creation seriously and approach every project with a mix of creativity, strategy, and performance-driven thinking. I study viewer behavior, color psychology, contrast, and composition to produce thumbnails that not only look professional but are also optimized for high click-through rates. My editing style is flexible, allowing me to adapt to different niches and creator preferences. Whether the goal is a dramatic gaming thumbnail with strong expressions and vibrant colors, a clean and minimal educational style, or a cinematic vlog look, I tailor the design to match the creator’s brand. I study successful channels across various niches and analyze what makes their thumbnails effective. This research-based approach helps me understand what viewers respond to and how to apply those principles to every new design. One of my main priorities is communication. I believe great results come from understanding the creator’s vision, their goals for each video, and the overall direction of the channel. I provide multiple variations, accept feedback openly, and make sure every detail aligns with the creator’s expectations. My workflow includes concept planning, reference gathering, high-quality cutouts, lighting adjustments, color grading, text placement, and final refinements that make the thumbnail stand out on both desktop and mobile. Consistency is something I value highly. Thumbnails shouldn’t only perform well individually; they should also work together as a series to build a recognizable channel identity. When viewers can instantly recognize your video among dozens of others, you strengthen your brand and improve long-term engagement. I help creators establish and maintain that identity through consistent design choices, signature color schemes, and a style that reflects the personality of the channel. I am committed to continuous improvement. YouTube trends and viewer preferences change quickly, so I stay updated by analyzing top-performing thumbnails, studying new design techniques, and learning from successful creators. This mindset ensures that my work remains modern, competitive, and aligned with what the YouTube algorithm currently favors. I aim to deliver thumbnails that not only help creators attract new viewers but also retain their existing audience by setting the right expectations before the video even starts. If you are looking for a thumbnail editor who understands strategy, prioritizes performance, and pays attention to every detail, I’m ready to collaborate. My goal is to help your channel grow by delivering visually compelling thumbnails that communicate the value of your content instantly. Together, we can create a strong and effective visual identity that stands out in the crowded YouTube landscape.

Video Editing

I’m a creative technologist and video editor with a background in short form content creation, web design, and app development, and I got my start as a potter. I spent my early years working in my dad's pottery studio as an apprentice. That taught me the discipline required to be a working artist. By 16, I landed an internship at a civil engineering firm, and by 18 I was collaborating on major roadway projects for the FDOT. I went on to study engineering at the University of Florida, but when COVID hit I pivoted. I created comedic and relatable gaming videos under the alias "wackykraken" generating over 1M likes and 40K followers across Tiktok, Twitch, and YouTube. I was able to consistently stream to over 20 viewers within only a month of streaming, peaking at over 500. That experience lit a fire in me, and I still crave involvement in content generation to this day. I wanted my degree and eventually pivoted in 2022 to a "Digital Arts and Sciences" degree from UF - a BS degree that blends computer science with graphic design. You learn web design, basic app design, Python, Java, Illustrator, Photoshop, Premiere, Maya, and even Unity for full 2D and 3D game development. I am currently enrolled in my last class needed to graduate. Recent projects include: - Custom YouTube intelligence tool that scans for videos in your niche or custom search query, can pull relevant videos, compare stats, titles, view/sub ratios, ultimately feeding it to a local AI agent that can help you decide on titles and thumbnails depending on recent trends. Modern website with merch, customer portal, and blog sections for Sherwood Tree Service Short form content marketing campaign for an arborist in TPA featuring captioned and titled vlog style content AI agent and content generator for a jingle brand "Butter" here in NYC. I believe my wide range of skills makes me the ideal candidate for a creative YouTube production team. Joining a creative YouTube team where I can contribute technically and creatively is a dream role for me, and I'm so glad this site exists so I can have the opportunity to work for some of you!
