video production

Video is one of the most human ways to show up online. There’s nowhere to hide, and that’s exactly why it works. When it’s done well, it feels like being in the room with someone. You get their energy, their warmth, the way they pause before they say something meaningful. That’s not something a caption can easily replicate.

But most video content doesn’t feel that way. It feels rushed, or generic, or like it was made because someone said you should be doing video, not because there was something worth saying. I think about that a lot when I’m producing something. What is this actually for? What do we want the person watching to feel? And how do we make sure it feels like it came from a real place?

From my portfolio:

OneSpirit Interfaith Foundation | Annual Ordination Videos

Every year I take over two hours of ordination footage and turn it into something the ordinands, their families, and the wider OneSpirit community can walk away with proudly. That means a full edited video, a highlights reel, and shorter bite-sized clips, each one crafted to hold the weight and meaning of that day. Some years that's four hours of raw content across two ceremonies. It's detailed, careful work and it's some of my favorite work I do.

From footage to finished

Why work with me:

I understand both the creative and strategic sides of video. Give me a long piece of footage and I'll find the story inside it. On the strategy side, I know YouTube SEO, short-form content, and what performs across different platforms. And I bring the same accessibility-first mindset to video that I bring to everything else, because good content should be reachable by everyone. I edit in CapCut and iMovie.
