What I'm looking for

I'm looking for remote freelance or contract roles as a Video Editor, working with creative agencies, production companies, or brands on commercials, brand films, and content campaigns. I thrive in fast-paced environments where craft, reliability, and storytelling matter. Open to long-term collaborations and project-based work worldwide.

Born in Lisbon, based in Barcelona since 2007. I'm a freelance video editor with 19+ years of experience editing commercials, brand films, fashion films, and music videos for global brands and top-tier creative agencies.

I've edited campaigns for LVMH, Berluti, The Macallan, Audi, Carolina Herrera, Bershka, Nike, Coca-Cola, Google, and many more — collaborating directly with creative directors at B-Reel, DDB, McCann, Ogilvy, and BBDO.

My work goes beyond the timeline. I get involved from the earliest stages: researching footage, building mood reels, creating pitch videos — through to the final cut and AI-enhanced post-production.

I trained at etic_ Lisbon and IDEP Barcelona, then founded Tokyo o'Clock, my production company, in 2011. My setup is cloud-native and remote-first, built for seamless collaboration with agency workflows worldwide.
