Experience

The kind of work I keep getting called for

Fast-turn event edits, developer videos, branded pieces, and production support for teams that are moving quickly and do not have much margin for error.

  • Google, Apple, Discord, and other teams like that
  • Fast-turn work across events, social, branded, and technical video
  • Over a decade across company, agency, and client work

Usually that means technical material, real deadlines, and a lot of moving parts.
