What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a position in a company as a video editor and/or colorist.

I edit videos that keep people watching and get them to act.

I was lead editor and colorist for Wilderness Cooking (7M subscribers), averaging 1M+ views per video, where I set the channel’s pacing, look and color pipeline. Most recently I made Meta ads for Panda Drum, a DTC musical-instrument brand: 20 ads with 5 hooks each, and 13 of them found a winning hook at $37-40 cost per purchase.

I’ve also edited and color graded 80+ music videos for independent artists, and I make AI video with my own Claude-based prompt system - Pixar-style and cinematic ads built with Higgsfield tools.

I work in DaVinci Resolve and handle the whole chain: story, pacing, hooks, color grading, sound design and delivery. Based in Ukraine (UTC+2, UTC+3 in summer), with backup power and internet.
