What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative production role focusing on cinematic editing, color grading and VFX, with clear creative direction, tight deadlines, and opportunities to grow my technical and storytelling skills.

I am a creative, detail-oriented video editor with a passion for storytelling, skilled in crafting cinematic, promotional, and short-form content. I have edited news packages and video segments for online and broadcast distribution, performed color grading and correction, and compiled and color graded a 3D animated short and a 6-minute live-action film to enhance cinematic quality.

I create full VFX projects independently and manage project timelines, media assets, and editorial tone to deliver high-quality, engaging edits under tight deadlines. I also have hands-on set experience as lighting crew and assistant cameraman, supporting camera operation and collaborating closely with directors, cinematographers, and production staff.
