CREATIVE EDITOR
I turn moving images and sound into something that hopefully makes people feel something. Story comes first, because without it, we’re all just admiring transitions. Whether it’s a six-second sprint or a full campaign marathon, I chase after rhythm, clarity, and that rare moment when everyone quietly agrees, “that’s the one.”
Somewhere along the way, the work picked up Cannes Lions, Clios, AICE Awards, a Super Bowl appearance, and a spot on Adweek’s Most Shared list, which is gratifying, if slightly confusing for someone who spends most of his day nudging frames and calling it progress.
I’ve cut comedy, action, narrative, and the in-between genres that don’t have a proper name yet. I work with a steady hand, a focused instinct for timing, and a collaborative approach. And I keep up with new tools because they occasionally turn problems into solvable ones, or at least into better-looking problems.
Outside the edit, I hang out in nature, windsurf when the wind cooperates, and spend a fair amount of time at wine tastings convincing myself I can detect “notes.”
I work fast, stay flexible, and keep the process smooth no matter where your team is based, because a good edit should feel effortless, even if it wasn’t.
