ABOUT ME

DSCF0782.JPG

I'm a video producer, editor and sound designer based in Vancouver, with more than a decade of experience shooting and editing promotional, product, real estate and social content. I believe good video earns attention in the first few seconds and holds it because it is clear, well paced and true to the brand it serves.
 

I trained in Film Studies at Toronto Metropolitan University (BFA), where I built a foundation in cinematography, editing and sound design. Since then, I've worked on more than 30 projects, including a full season of the Chef Style culinary web series, digital real estate tour videos, and a commercial that aired on CBC / ICI Radio-Canada Télé.
 

My editing has also been recognized at festivals. I edited KNOTS, which won Best Vancouver Island Film at the 2026 Comox Valley International Film Festival, and the short documentary The Hurt That Binds Us, which won Best Documentary at the Toronto Metropolitan University Image Arts Film Festival and the August 2019 Art With Impact film competition. That film, about Indigenous mental health, now tours North American universities and colleges as part of the OLIVE Film Collection and screened at the VOX film festival in Thunder Bay.
 

What sets me apart is that I handle the whole process: planning the shoot with storyboards and shot lists, shooting, editing in Premiere Pro, grading photos in Lightroom, and delivering organized, versioned files. I'm fluent in English and French, comfortable with changing priorities, and I stay close to current formats and trends.
 

I grew up in Vancouver, and its natural beauty shaped how I see the world. I'm guided by honesty, respect for people and the environment, humility and empathy, and I bring those values to every collaboration. If you're looking for someone who works quickly, communicates clearly and cares about the result, I'd love to hear from you.
