Kunal Koli
@kunalkoli1
I edit culturally relevant videos and motion graphics for diverse digital audiences.
What I'm looking for
I've built and revived video content across Songdew, Sortedd, Peppermint, Diya TV, and Socially Elite Pro, editing programs, music videos, workshops, and social-first content for varied audiences.
At Songdew Media, I worked on TV-show episodes, brought stalled IPs back to life through editing, trained two junior editors, and supported production. Earlier, I led Sortedd's video production department and helped the channel reach millions of subscribers with viral video content. Sortedd was later bought by TVF Media and rebranded as The Timeliners.
I create videos that reflect internet culture and resonate with millennials, Gen Z, and baby boomers alike. My work is especially grounded in LGBTQ+, neurodivergence, mental health, diversity, equality, equity and inclusion, video games, and nostalgia.
I've also taught Premiere Pro and After Effects, covering graphic-design principles, storytelling, shot composition, color theory, practical workflows, and client communication. I don't accept work requiring Generative AI because of its environmental impact and unethical data practices.
