I’m a Colombian video editor and filmmaker working in between New York, LA and my home country. I have experience across advertising, commercials, social media ads, documentary and art projects.
My work ranges from team lead on international brand campaigns to immersive documentaries and contemporary art installations, including a Cannes Film Festival selected project in 2025. This hybrid background allows me to understand both the creative and technical sides of post-production, and to communicate fluently with directors, producers, cinematographers, and clients.

My Approach
For me, editing is not about cutting footage. It’s about composing time, emotion, and rhythm into a coherent experience. Across the seveal hours I have spent on the editing room, there are 2 key elements that pretty much define my style as video editor:
It’s all about the pace
I approach editing the same way I approach music.
Being a musician, I treat every edit like a composition. Rhythm, pacing, silence, and layering are just as important to me as cuts, transitions, or effects. I believe a good edit should flow naturally, building elements one by one — like a song that knows exactly when to breathe and when to explode.
substance over form
Before adding any visual flair, I always look for the core feeling of the piece. I prioritize the essence over the form. If the emotion isn’t there, no amount of flashy editing can save it. Once the foundation is clear, only then do I start shaping details, textures, and movement.
Some stories need complexity. Others need restraint. If a piece calls for a minimalistic approach, I fully embrace it. My goal is never to show off the edit — it’s to serve the story in the most honest and effective way possible.
