What I'm looking for

I’m a remote-first motion designer and video editor focused on long-form YouTube retention edits, vertical short-form, podcast repurposing, and animated motion graphics for experts and consultants. I’m available immediately with same-day turnaround.

I’m a freelance video editor and motion designer with 12 years of experience, editing since 2014. I focus on video content for experts and consultants, delivering long-form YouTube, short-form vertical social, podcast repurposing, and direct-response advertising.

My core strength is motion graphics—animated data visualisation, UI and screen replacements, article and document callouts, and kinetic typography. I build these in After Effects rather than assembling them from templates.

I’m comfortable with the full production workflow, from retention-focused edits and multicam editing to compositing, colour correction, and audio cleanup. I also support client review and revision cycles using Frame.io with timestamped feedback.

Remote only, I’m available immediately and can align with UK/EU hours (UTC+2) for same-day turnaround, including overlap with US East Coast and US Pacific time mornings.
