Editing

I have edited more films than I can count – long form, short form, documentaries, reels, brand films, interview driven pieces and energy driving content.  

I am known to coax out feelings and connection whilst distilling ideas into their clearest form, keeping pace and not boring the viewer and am highly experienced at working with mixed media, graphics teams and clients.

I understand formats and mediums – when to introduce hooks, information, calls-to-action etc.

I edit and grade in Premiere Pro or Davinci Resolve.

About me

I learnt filmmaking through editing. And it was as an editor that my career took off. What started as music videos, reels and short films became interview-driven films and short documentaries. When I started to receive self-shooting director jobs, it was off the back of my edit knowledge and knowing what was needed for a great film.

I’ve edited many films on a diverse range of projects for brands, charities, agencies and artists; some interview-driven, some music-driven and some as building-blocks for graphics and vfx. My work encompasses brand films, documentaries, social campaigns, b2c and b2b films, music videos, performances, agency/pitch content, thought-leadership pieces and internal comms.

They all convey a story or a message and have the brand, audience and platform in mind.
