THE RAD STANDARD
Great editing walks a fine line — it supports the story without ever drawing attention to itself. My strength lies in obsessing over the small stuff: the pacing of a breath, the shape of a cut, the beat that lands just right. I focus on the moments you’re not supposed to notice — because that’s where the magic hides.
With a sharp eye for detail, a distinct creative style, and decades of experience collaborating with storytellers across genres and formats, I specialize in shaping footage into final cuts that feel seamless, intentional, and — when it needs to be — totally rad.
