Creative content and communications professional specialising in video editing, production management and writing

 

Creatively speaking, I'm someone who:

• picks up communications challenges and turns them into resonating and engaging video content

• takes complex ideas and makes concise, compelling and/or cute media for target audiences

• translates abstract/non-literal ideas to screen, identifying sincere opportunities for "oooh!" , "ahhh!" and "I see!" 

• as needed, assembles well-timed...punchlines, and/or, strategic emotional sucker-punches, cuing calls to action

• just makes it work, without "all this bs", with flexibility, problem solving and experience 

• effectively weaves through foreseeable issues, and otherwise, to deliver on time, within scope and budget

• seeks out good people and enjoys exceeding any and all expectations
