/ ABOUT
Editor, colorist, obsessive about pacing.
I started in 2019, cutting weddings on a borrowed iMac. Today I edit brand films, documentaries and music videos for studios across Europe. I work alone, deliver fast, and care more about rhythm than transitions.
The Architect of Motion. I strip away the unnecessary and focus purely on the cut.
With over a decade of experience at the intersection of raw emotion and technical precision, I operate as a lead video editor and colorist for high-end commercial campaigns and independent cinema.
My process is fundamentally brutalist. I don’t rely on flashy transitions or over-engineered effects to mask weak storytelling. Instead, I build rhythm through deliberate pacing, stark contrast between frames, and a deep understanding of visual grammar.
