Start with a feeling⋆˚꩜｡
Spent nine years editing, filming videos and the longer I do it, the more I realize that the real work is a feeling. The colours, music, the aesthetics, sound design, and how they all come together to build a piece. The same footage can entirely change (a horror film can become a warm summer day romance depending only on how you edit it).
I'm based in Toronto, self-taught, with a background in media, film and writing. I freelance and work for Katie Steckley's YouTube agency, Creatorly Media. Also spent many years creating videos on YouTube. It's probably why adapting to other creators' styles has always felt natural rather than technical.

Multi-video channel work - Scattered vlog footage, no order → built a system to turn it into story - Inconsistent colors across shoot days → matched and graded to one look - 100+ clips, organized into one engaging story
Building a channel from zero. - No subscribers, no brand guidelines → built visual identity from scratch - No b-roll → self-made graphics carried the videos - 0 to 5,000+ subscribers in 4 months, across 25+ videos
