Video/Sound

Video Editing

My background in video editing is multifaceted: I have been both a teacher and creator of videos and am fascinated with the power of storytelling that comes when movement and sound is added into the mix. For 3+ years I was in charge of a university course that had a focus on video editing, cinematography and storytelling through moving images, but I have been fascinated by video creation all my life and started creating short, experimental videos on MovieMaker already when I was around 10 years old. Today, I mainly enjoy experimenting with creating videos in connection with my creative projects, and mostly share my videos through instagram reels and tiktok.

  • Preferred software: DaVinci Resolve, Splice (mobile)
