The 2026 differential
Systemised speed. Human finish.
The 2026 problem: AI makes content fast but generic, and a real editor makes it exceptional but slow. My answer is a parametric editing system that gives you both: a full series of on-brand videos, produced fast and consistent, then finished by hand with a professional's eye.
Parametrise
Lock your brand
Colours, type, motion, format and tone become reusable parameters. One approved look becomes the DNA of the whole series.
Produce in series
A batch, not a one-off
Content delivered as a consistent series, on-brand across every piece, in a fraction of the usual time. Scale without the drift.
Finish by hand
The human eye
I grade, cut and time every frame myself. The system brings speed and consistency; the story, taste and final polish are mine, sharpened over five years.
AI keeps you consistent. I keep you exceptional.

Jan 2024 – Present
Video editor, videographer and content producer
World Creative Resources · Sydney NSW
Grew a solo studio into a book of 6+ recurring commercial clients across hospitality, events, retail, automotive and real estate by owning every stage of the pipeline in-house.
- Delivered social edits within 3 to 5 business days and hero brand edits within 5 to 7 days by building a templated DaVinci Resolve Studio 21 workflow covering grading, Fusion VFX and Fairlight mixing.
- Doubled usable output per shoot day, producing 10+ finished deliverables a month, by capturing and mastering native 9:16 and 16:9 versions in parallel.
- Removed the need for a separate copywriter on every deliverable by writing the platform-native caption, title, description and hashtag set alongside each edit.
- Closed client sign-off inside two revision rounds by locking scope before production with written creative briefs and storyboards.
Mar 2022 – Dec 2023
Freelance videographer and video editor
Commercial contracts · Sydney and remote

The operational foundation
- Processed a high-volume data cycle of 2,000+ files a month with full traceability. That is the same large-scale asset management discipline I apply to media libraries today.
- Met fixed month-end close deadlines every cycle, which is where the respect for production schedules and on-time delivery came from.
- Held a record of zero audit discrepancies across three years. Same quality assurance standard now applied to colour grading and final delivery.

Straight answers
The 2026 questions, answered
Do you use AI? Will it replace the editor?
AI does the repetitive work: versioning, rough passes and previsualisation, so a series ships faster and stays consistent. The story, the colour grade and the final cut are done by me. You get AI speed with a human's judgment, not generic auto-content.
Can you keep our brand consistent across a whole series?
Yes. I lock your colours, type, motion and format as reusable parameters, so every video in the batch belongs to the same brand, with no drift between piece one and piece twenty.
How fast can you deliver a batch of videos?
The parametric system produces a series in a fraction of the one-at-a-time time. Single social edits land in 3 to 5 business days; a batched series is scoped up front so you get a clear, faster timeline.
Can I hire you remotely from outside Sydney?
Yes. Editing is 100% remote, worldwide: send footage and I deliver finished, on-brand video. For filming I cover Greater Sydney; further out, I plan efficient batched shoots so it stays affordable.
Do you deliver ready to post?
Every piece ships ready to publish, with titles, descriptions and hashtags matched to your niche. You just hit post.
For recruiters: do you need visa sponsorship?
No. Australian Permanent Resident with full unrestricted work rights. Available full-time, contract or freelance, on-site, hybrid or remote. A PDF CV is available: select CV request in the form below.
Do you work in Spanish as well as English?
Yes. English at professional working proficiency and Spanish as a native speaker, including fully bilingual productions for Australian and Latin American audiences.
