Hi, I’m Steph
I’m an awarded video editor and multimedia creator. I’m passionate about people, stories, and digital art.
I Love What I Do
Editing is all about storytelling and emotions.
I love watching footage over and over again and each time trick my mind into pretending that I’ve never seen it before. I love to act as a creative filter between the director’s vision and the reality of how it will be perceived by the viewing audience. I believe that the editor is at the same time a second director, and the first audience. And I find myself very comfortable switching constantly between those two roles.
With experience I’ve developed a strong affinity to precision, and a creative speed.

My curiosity is leading me to discover new ways to express my love for mixing images, using various mediums, as well as technology.
In my free time I experiment with different digital tools, software, AI prompts, and immerse myself in the world of design and multimedia.
With a passion for storytelling and an eye for detail, I put my heart and soul into every project I work on.
Newfound passion for digital art
