About Me
I'm a creative video editor, content creator based in Toronto, self-taught with 9+ years of experience. I adapt easily to different editing styles and bring a strong eye for visuals, helping brands and creators turn raw footage into content that performs. I have worked with independent clients, YouTubers, content creators, and edit for Katie Steckley's YouTube agency at Creatorly Media. I have worked across magazines, music videos and brand content.
Softwares I edit on
Premiere Pro | CapCut | Final Cut Pro | DaVinci Resolve
Video Edits
We built a new editing style around her various editing references to come up with her signature editing style. Script was not structured going in, so I recut around pacing, keeping what worked and cutting what did not. Crossed 1M+ views on this video on YouTube.
Established YouTuber, consistently delivered videos every week timely along with thumbnail creation. No motion graphics existed yet, so I built the titles and graphics from scratch. Worked on 26+ videos together. Audio was inconsistent between takes, so I cleaned and leveled it. Not much b-roll to lean on, so text and graphics carried a lot of the story.
Worked across multiple videos on the channel. Vlog footage came in scattered with no real order, so I built a system to turn it into a clear story. Clips were shot on different days with inconsistent colors, so I matched and graded everything to one cohesive look. With 100+ clips spanning multiple days, the work was organizing all of it into a single, visually engaging story.
Started from zero subscribers with no brand or visual guidelines, so I built the visual identity and editing style from the ground up, minimal and modern for her niche. No b-roll to lean on so self-created graphics did the heavy lifting. Went from 0 to 5,000+ subscribers in about 4 months. Worked on 25+ videos together.
