Additional information you'd like to share: 1) I didn't include color grading and SFX, and I wouldn't say I'm a specialist in those categories, but I do execute them in my work fairly often with good results. (See Cricut work example)
2) It was hard to pick work examples, but I've done a ton of commercial work, including docu-style pieces where I create the story from long form interviews. In addition to that, a ton of hyper creative music video work as well as teaser/trailer work for feature films.
3) I also do VO, and custom music.
4) Day rate is negotiable depending on nature of project, but for commercial work it's typically around 850/900. Happy to discuss on a per project basis though.

Additional information you'd like to share: I bring more than 10 years of professional editing experience across a 20-plus-year career in media design and production. Most of that experience has been within in-house, end-to-end production roles, where I have managed projects from concept development and interviews through shooting, editing, sound, graphics and final delivery, often on very tight deadlines.

My strongest skills are sto
rytelling judgment, production awareness, professional communication and understanding how to work with clients to identify what a project needs to accomplish. I am especially drawn to interview-driven and human-centered work, finding the meaningful thread within the material and shaping it into something clear, engaging and emotionally honest.

As I move into full-time production, I am interested in expanding my experience within collaborative post-production workflows, contributing where my existing strengths are useful and continuing to grow through working alongside other experienced production professionals.

I am open to any rate at the moment and want to ensure I add value to your productions.
