What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead end-to-end video creative and content strategy for brands—creating high-retention storytelling, optimizing viewer engagement and organic reach, and collaborating with teams that value fast execution and strong creative direction.

I’m a Creative Director and Senior Video Editor with over 10 years of experience producing compelling audio-visual content. I build viewer-first narratives and lead creative projects from conception to completion, with a track record that includes enhancing viewer engagement in Yerevan.

As a freelance Senior Video Editor/Creative Director (2019–present), I’ve driven measurable results through storytelling and creative direction—such as increasing viewer engagement by 40% within the rst year at Nekstop Media. I also developed targeted video content and social media campaigns for a mobile app, increasing app downloads by 25% over three months.

Earlier, as a Creative Producer & Lead Editor at Baztab Honar Advertising Agencies, I oversaw end-to-end video production, managed budgets, and led a team of 5 editors to deliver over 20 high-profile campaigns annually. I combine fast, high-quality editing (Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere, After Effects, Capcut) with motion and audio craft (motion graphics, sound design) to help brands grow through content strategy.
