About

The first three seconds decide whether anyone watches the rest. I build every edit backward from that.

Before I touch a timeline, I read the full transcript and find the moments that actually hold attention. The strongest hook, the honest pause, the line worth clipping. Everything else gets cut. What's left is the video your footage was trying to be.

I work around your timeline, ask sharp questions before I start instead of guessing, and treat revision notes as something to prevent, not process. Final Cut Pro and CapCut. Washington DC.
