craft video & broadcast editor

me

For the past 15 years, I’ve worked as a video editor and content specialist focused on turning raw footage into clear, engaging stories that perform on YouTube, social platforms, and branded channels. My work is driven by structure, pacing, and narrative, building strong hooks early and maintaining momentum through sound design and visual rhythm.

I work primarily in Premiere Pro and Avid MC, producing long-form YouTube content, short-form clips, and social cutdowns for creators, brands, and digital teams. Alongside this, I bring a broadcast background, including work on BAFTA-nominated programmes, which has shaped my eye for polish, consistency, and storytelling standards across different formats and audiences.

My workflow includes storyboarding and layout planning in Figma, as well as using AI-assisted tools for transcription and workflow efficiency. This helps me move quickly while keeping quality and clarity at the centre of every project. I’ve collaborated closely with creators, marketing teams, and product-led organisations across media, technology, and education, contributing to content strategies where audience connection and performance matter as much as production value.

If you’re building a brand, product, or channel and need someone who can shape strong stories from complex or messy footage, I’m always happy to connect.
