On social, nobody owes you their attention. You earn it in the first three seconds and you keep earning it with every cut after that. I edit for that reality: hooks that land, pacing that breathes, captions that carry the story with the sound off. Not decoration. Retention.

What I do

Everything happens inside the feed: choosing the hook, cutting for retention and making the edit work with the sound off.

Short-form editing

Reels, TikTok and Shorts. Choosing the hook, cutting to the beat, cleaning the audio and captioning so it works with the sound off.

  • Sound

Motion graphics

Animated titles, kinetic captions and product animation. The layer that makes an edit feel designed instead of assembled.

  • Kinetic type
  • Titles

Paid-social creatives

Video variations built with media and copy teams for testing: different hooks, lengths and formats from one shoot.

How I got here

I didn’t start with a plan. I started with curiosity: building things on my own, breaking them, and finding out what worked. In 2021 I joined Concentrix, a multinational where I cut videos and motion pieces for national and international clients, on deadlines that didn’t move.

On the side I built my own client base, editing for brands and creators. That’s where I learned that an edit isn’t only visual. The right cut is what turns a scroll into a view, and a view into a customer.

Today that’s five-plus years working professionally and eight-plus years around video and motion, most of them inside Premiere and After Effects. I’m based in Curitiba, Brazil, and I work remotely with teams in any time zone.
