Detail-oriented video director and editor crafting broadcast-ready visual stories with 5+ years’ experience.
What I'm looking for
I’m a detail-oriented Video Editor and Film Director with 5+ years of experience crafting compelling visual stories for major recording artists across Africa. I own post-production workflows end-to-end—from assembly cut to final delivery—so the final product is consistent, polished, and audience-ready.
In my current role as Video Director at Orela Inc, I oversee end-to-end production for multiple concurrent projects, coordinating cinematographers, talent, and post-production teams against tight deadlines. I develop shooting schedules around location availability and resource constraints, then lead post-production including color correction, sound mixing, and motion graphics to achieve broadcast-ready deliverables.
Previously at Anonymous Music HQ, I directed the music video for Bad Boy Timz ft. Olamide — Skelele, which was selected for FIFA 2023—proof of the commercial reach my edits and direction can achieve. I managed the full production lifecycle, including concept and scripting, shoot coordination, editing, and digital distribution strategy across social platforms.
I also bring strong on-set and creator experience as a Personal Videographer & Content Creator, producing multi-platform promotional content and editing raw footage into polished stories optimized for digital platforms. I’m comfortable working asynchronously with remote creative teams, delivering on schedule while maintaining a clear editorial vision and quality standards.
