about me.

Hi I'm Emma! I’m a New York City based creator. After 4 years of dancing professionally, I transitioned into video production. Now with six years of experience as a video editor, filmmaker, and director, I thrive on collaboration and bring energy to my work! My editing style is rhythmic and attention-drawing, with minimal SFX, showcasing my dance background. Editing is like choreographing a dance— it's my favorite part of the creative process!​

 

As a video producer, I’m inspired by the cultural buzz and the timeless pull of nostalgia, creating stories that bring people together and make them feel seen. My interest lies in capturing the essence of “who” and "what” to craft meaningful, relatable content. Whether it's a promotional video, a campaign, or a social media reel, I always incorporate a blend of originality and technical expertise to every project.
