About
I edit the way a good document reads: nothing extra, every section earning its place, the point never buried. That shows up as clean documentary pacing on longer stories, and crisp on-screen UI storytelling wherever the footage calls for it.
Every project moves through the same process — a rough assembly built around the story's spine, a structural pass for pacing, then sound, color, and motion layered in last. The showreel above is a sample of that work; happy to walk through the raw-to-final process on a call.
