Hitman Error 404
A short action-comedy film for which I led online and offline editing alongside full data management workflows, from ingest through to final delivery. The project won Best Third Year Film and Best Third Year Post-Production Team. The edit balanced fast comedic timing with the tension of the action sequences, keeping pace tight without losing clarity.
Post-production
DPD Laser
A milestone-service tribute video edited for DPD Laser, a leading South African logistics company, marking a significant company milestone and released across corporate and social media channels. The edit balanced polished corporate messaging with a warmer, more personal tone suited to celebrating the milestone, making it equally effective for internal screenings and public-facing posts.

Bloody Finger — Unfinished Business Trailer
A 25-minute independent short horror film. I edited the feature from assembly through to final cut, along with its promotional trailers, ahead of an independent premiere. The edit leaned on pacing and sound design to build tension gradually, keeping the scares earned rather than relying on jump cuts alone.
Created from scratch
YouTube Vlog Introduction
A channel opener I built from the ground up for a client's YouTube vlog. Every element, including motion graphics, icons and shape animations, was designed and animated from scratch, with fluid transitions and a music edit chosen to match the channel's tone.

Hitman Error 404 — Behind the Scenes
A behind-the-scenes companion piece for Hitman Error 404, blending on-set footage with documentary-style interviews to walk viewers through how the film came together. I shot the footage, scripted the interview questions, and handled the full edit and graphics package.

About
I specialise in post-production, covering the entire post pipeline from ingest through to final delivery. My work spans multiple short films and trailers, alongside filmed and edited documentary-style behind-the-scenes videos and social media reels.
Storytelling is at the core of what I do, paired with the ability to handle marketing materials and full campaigns. I'm organised and a natural problem-solver, with an outgoing approach that keeps collaboration efficient.
Comfortable moving between formats and platforms, from cinematic short films through to fast-turnaround social content, I bring the same attention to structure, pacing and visual polish to every project, whatever the runtime or platform it's built for. Based in Johannesburg and working with clients remotely, I'm equally at home collaborating closely with a director in real time or running independently once a brief is locked in, keeping every stage of the pipeline, from ingest and assembly through to edit, grade and delivery, moving without friction. I can also work on set and in studios, in addition to remotely.
