About me
Video editing is a balance of technical skill and storytelling mastery. I've pursued the video editing field for the past few years and have yet to slow down. I've worked on high profile fashion brands like K. Rashae, Progressive, Mucinex, Indeed.com, Monster.com and TUMI to luxury/beauty brands like Cadillac, Lexus, and Maybelline. The broadcast world is quick paced and fierce and the content flows constantly. It's important to stay atop the technical advancements and continue to learn more about story and form.In the commercial realm, I've worked for NO6, jumP, Beast, Modern Post, DDB, and a hand full of others.
Eventually, I'd love to immerse myself more into the narrative world of television and film. I've already made arrangements by starting a production company alongside my fiance. Lyricy Films has produced one short film, which is receiving high acclaim and has been accepted to such festivals as Golden Door FF, Buffalo Int. FF, and Orlando FF.
