A hook that earns 3 seconds. A body that builds belief. A CTA that says what to do.

I've been editing since 2013. It started as a hobby; today I lead a team of six video editors at a performance-marketing agency, cutting e-commerce ads every day.

Before editing, I spent a few years in FMCG sales. That's where I learned what most edits miss: people don't buy features, they buy a reason. So every ad I cut starts with that reason, and everything else is there to make it land.

My signature is typography that lives inside the footage: text behind the speaker, moving with the scene, animating only when it carries meaning, like a price, a number or a feature. I'm also a photographer, so light and colour matter to me: natural, bright grades that make products look real.
