Edited a lifestyle-driven dropshipping ad for Sava, a men's jewelry brand specializing in layered chains and necklaces. The video follows a natural try-on moment — putting the chains on, layering them, then cutting to a relaxed, aesthetic lifestyle shot to let the product live in a real, stylish context rather than a plain product shot. Focused the edit on clean pacing and natural lighting to keep the ad feeling authentic and native to TikTok/Instagram feeds, letting the product's look sell itself without a heavy sales pitch.

Fruitea — Turning a Summer Craving into a Brand
For this challenge, I created Fruitea—a fictional tropical iced tea brand inspired by a simple summer craving.
On a 40°C day, I was craving something cold, colorful, and refreshing. I don't live anywhere near a beach, so instead of...
A self-initiated cinematic SaaS promo created for Higgsfield’s AI video generation platform. The video combines bold typography, fast-paced editing, motion design, and product-focused messaging to present the platform as a powerful tool for modern creative workflows. I handled the editing, pacing, sound design, motion graphics, and overall visual direction to create a polished, high-energy brand piece.
Big news: I’ve been invited to join the Contra Labs Network as a Video Editor.
I’m genuinely excited about this opportunity, and I’ve already completed my first evaluation.
What I find especially interesting about Contra Labs is that it focuses on something AI development still often underestimates: expert judgment.
A video can be technically clean and still fail. The idea might be unclear, the pacing might not hold attention, the ad might not communicate its message, or the story might never really land.
The real question is not only “does it look good?” It’s also “does it communicate, persuade, tell the story clearly, and work for the audience?”
Contra Labs brings experienced creatives into the process of evaluating AI-generated work and helping AI teams understand what makes an image or video effective in practice.
That feels very close to my work across AI video, editing, visual development, advertising, and creative direction. Making something look good is only part of it. It also has to communicate the idea, tell the story clearly, and do the job it was created for.
I hope my first evaluation helps future models get better at those decisions.
Thank you to Contra, my favorite freelance platform, for building a place where independent creatives can show real work and connect with meaningful opportunities.
And a special thank you to Contra Labs for the invitation. I’m happy to contribute to the teams working on the future of AI.
A technically clean video can still fail the job. I'd ask reviewers to name the exact moment where the message or pacing breaks, so the feedback points to something concrete.
