What I Offer

Every format, built for performance.

Short-Form Editing

Reels, TikToks, and Shorts built on a proven retention framework — hook in the first two seconds, earn every additional second, close with intent. No dead air. No wasted frames.

  • Hook engineering
  • Captions & on-screen text
  • SFX & music sync

Podcast Clip Extraction

I watch hours of long-form conversation and surface the three-to-five moments that actually belong on social. Then I cut, caption, and format them for platform-native performance.

  • Clip identification & selection
  • Multi-format export
  • Reframe for 9:16 / 1:1 / 16:9

Captions & Motion Graphics

Animated captions that punctuate your message rather than just transcribe it. Lower thirds, kinetic text, and branded motion elements that make a scroll stop in its tracks.

  • Animated caption styles
  • Lower thirds & overlays
  • Brand-matched motion

Long-Form & VSL Editing

Whether it's a 30-minute documentary or a sales letter that closes, I structure the arc so attention doesn't waver. Pacing, B-roll placement, and narrative beats handled with care.

  • Narrative structuring
  • B-roll & cutaway editing
  • Color & audio polish

How It Works

Simple. Predictable. No back-and-forth chaos.

Brief

You share the footage, goals, and any references. I ask exactly the questions that matter — nothing more.

Edit

I build the first cut with your goals in mind — pacing, hook, structure. No placeholder work, no rough passes dressed up as finals.

Review

You give feedback — two revision rounds included. Clear, timestamped notes keep things moving without email chains.

Deliver

Final files hit your inbox in every format you need. Ready to post, ready to convert, ready to perform.

Why Work With Me

The things clients stop mentioning because they've started expecting them.

Fast Turnaround

Most short-form edits land within 24–48 hours. I build buffer into every timeline so you're never chasing me for a deadline — you're publishing ahead of it.

Retention-Focused Edits

I edit with the analytics tab open in my mind. Hook strength, watch-time curves, drop-off patterns — every decision is built around keeping people watching longer.

Reliable Communication

No read receipts, no radio silence. You'll know where every project stands. I flag blockers early, respond the same day, and treat your project like my only one.

Let's Work Together

If you're dealing with low retention, a hook that isn't landing, or footage that's just sitting there — let's talk. I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit.
