I'm a Video Editor & Animator near Bristol - looking for freelance opportunities 🙂

I have over 16 years' experience creating digital content and TV. I was formerly the Senior Editor at Saatchi & Saatchi London, creating content for some of the world's biggest global brands and campaigns - working mostly on Premiere, FCP, DaVinci Resolve and After Effects.

Formerly the Senior Video Editor at Saatchi & Saatchi London, I am a highly experienced creative Editor with additional skills in After Effects and Adobe suite. I started my career in music production in 2007 and evolved into editing videos for brands and digital, and gained a senior position at a large global agency. Since then I have been working as a freelancer across a broad spectrum from documentaries, to TVCs and all things digital.

I'm a storyteller! Aside from all the technical aspects of editing, I understand that the proof really is in the pudding. My main talent is to be able to create an emotional connection to a brand or content provider through editing exciting and engaging content, coupled with high-end post-production skills and visually appealing graphics.

I am well used to packaging and re-versioning for any purpose, I work fast and am well used to keeping high quality control standards even when creating mass versions of content. I am highly experienced in keeping track of legal, language and image variations between different markets, creating and packaging subtitles and - essentially - being on top of it.

Technically, my main skills are editing in Adobe Premiere, Davinci Resolve, FCPX and After Effects and I have supplementary knowledge of all the relevant aspects of Adobe suite.

As a senior editor, I am also experienced in creating, working with and managing teams. I can quickly pick up on jobs at any stage and effectively coordinate, synchronise and add value. As well as also adhering to brand playbooks, aesthetic ethos and QCing across a series of content.

I have all the post-production skills you need to make premium video content from cradle to grave, at a senior level, on a global playing field.
