Video Editor for Short-Form Videos

๐Ÿ“Œ Client

Ownwell, a U.S. proptech company helping homeowners and investors lower their property taxes by handling the entire appeal process on their behalf.

โœจ Project Overview

I partnered with Land It (who led client strategy and communication) and Tiffany Nguyen (video creator) to become Ownwellโ€™s dedicated video editor across both organic and paid content. My job? Take long interviews, FAQ scripts, and state-specific messages and turn them into videos that feel sharp, informative, and scroll-stopping.
From YouTube explainers to TikToks and Instagram Reels, Iโ€™ve delivered over 50 videos (and counting) fully optimized for different platforms and audiences, including Spanish-speaking viewers.
Organic Content

๐ŸŽฏ The Goal

Ownwell wanted to:
Simplify confusing tax appeal topics so they were easy to understand
Build trust through clear, polished, and helpful video content
Reach property owners across the U.S., including Spanish-speaking communities
Create platform-specific content that could be used for both brand awareness and paid campaigns
Talking head + Animations

๐Ÿง  The Challenge

Letโ€™s be real: taxes arenโ€™t exactly sexy. The original content felt a little flat, mostly talking-head videos with little branding, no movement, and low retention.
Plus, since their service is very state-specific, each video had to communicate different info depending on who was watching. This meant working with a lot of interviews, data, and nuanced messaging; and making it feel like something people would actually watch to the end.
Ads Content

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ My Role

As their video editor, I handled every part of the post-production process, including:
๐ŸŽž๏ธ Visual editing (cuts, pacing, flow)
๐Ÿ”Š Sound + voice clarity (even when recorded in not optimal situations like client interviews)
๐Ÿ’ฌ On-screen captions and hooks
๐ŸŽจ Custom motion graphics + animation for timelines, dates, and concepts
๐Ÿ“ฑ Platform formatting (TikTok, Reels, YouTube Shorts, Meta Ads)
โ™ป๏ธ Repurposing interviews and long content into bite-sized clips that perform
I also took full creative ownership of the visual system, creating branded templates so every video felt cohesive and immediately recognizable as "Ownwell."
Tools I used: CapCut, Canva, Jitter.

๐ŸŽฌ Deliverables

This is an ongoing retainer project, but hereโ€™s a sample of what Iโ€™ve delivered so far:
50+ videos across TikTok, IG, Meta, and YouTube
Client testimonials repurposed into trust-building ad content
Educational videos explaining how property tax appeals work
Creator-style clips answering FAQs (like โ€œWhat states do you serve?โ€)
Geo-targeted ads for state-specific campaigns (ex: Georgia, Texas)
Clip made from long client interview

๐Ÿ“ˆ Results

While the numbers vary by platform and campaign, here are some highlights:
๐Ÿ“Œ Best-performing paid ad came from one of the Georgia videos I edited
๐Ÿ“ฑ Organic reach on Instagram Reels consistently hit 800โ€“1,300 views
๐Ÿ“ฑ TikTok videos hit 500โ€“900 views organicall
๐Ÿ“ˆ Content became more engaging, easier to understand, and visually on-brand
๐Ÿ” Ongoing partnership, with new video requests increasing each month
Some of the organic only results!

๐Ÿ’ฌ Client Feedback

The team at Ownwell (and LandIt) now see video as a powerful part of their communication strategy and I love being the editor that helps bring it all to life.

๐Ÿ”‘ Why This Matters

If your brand needs to explain something technical, localized, or not-so-exciting (like taxes or real estate), I can help you turn that message into content that connects in English and Spanish.
Whether you need retention-focused short videos or a full visual system that works across channels, Iโ€™ll make sure your content actually performs.
