What I'm looking for
As a creative and detail-oriented Video Editor, I have a strong focus on brand identity and marketing campaign support. With over 15 years of experience in visual storytelling, I excel at managing multiple projects under tight deadlines while delivering high-quality results on time and within budget. My proficiency in both Mac and PC environments, along with advanced skills in Adobe Creative Suite, including Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, and Illustrator, allows me to create compelling visual content that resonates with audiences.
Throughout my career, I have successfully worked as a consultant and freelancer, managing projects from start to finish to ensure customer satisfaction. My experience includes roles as a Lead Photographer and Photo Lab Technician, where I developed and executed photography strategies that enhanced brand narratives. I have a proven track record of collaborating with creative teams to achieve their vision, whether it’s capturing stunning images of beer products for advertising or producing documentary-style photography for non-profits. I am passionate about using my skills to inform, engage, and deliver on customer needs.
