About me
Documentary editor with 10+ years of professional experience in shaping character-driven stories from raw footage.
Background as a director and cinematographer allows me to approach editing not just technically, but as a storytelling process — finding structure, rhythm, and emotional truth within the material.
Experienced in long-form documentary, interview-based narratives, and observational footage.
