I get paid to delete things people spent hours filming.
Because good editing isn’t about adding more.
It’s about knowing what the viewer actually cares about — and removing everything that gets in the way.
That’s the kind of editing I care about:
storytelling, pacing, retention.
If you’re building a YouTube channel and want your videos to feel tighter, cleaner and harder to click away from — you’re in the right place.

Web3: Web design, Branding, Animation
A single hub for managing crypto assets, wallets, swaps, and cross-chain portfolios, without bouncing between five different apps to get it done. I handled the branding, UI elements, illustrations, web design, and animations. The identity draws on space, light, transparency, and a sense of confidence, aiming for something visually striking that also builds trust with the user.
Wow, Great job!
3 tools I use for video editing
I don’t use the same tool for every project. The type of video, editing style, and turnaround time usually determine which tool I reach for.
Premiere Pro, for the main edit, audio, color, and storytelling.
After Effects, when the project needs motion graphics, animations, or visual effects.
CapCut for quick social media edits, captions, and short-form content.
Using the right tool for the right part of the workflow helps me edit faster without compromising quality.
