Motion graphics Video Editor for long-form YouTube creators.

I started editing videos in 2020 with zero formal training in production, my degree is in Civil Engineering. Everything I know about After Effects, motion graphics, pacing, and retention I learned by studying what the best YouTube channels were doing and reverse-engineering it in my own projects. That engineering background shaped how I approach editing: systematic, precise, and always asking "why does this visual element exist here?"

Six years later, I run VIDNERD, a video production brand that partners with YouTube creators in business, finance, and education. My specialty is something I call intentional kinematics; object-based motion graphics (constructed visual elements) placed at key moments in a video to reinforce what the speaker is saying, not caption it. I design deliberate visual moments per content segment, with breathing room between them. The silence is what makes each one hit.

Where I stand out from most editors in this space: I don't just edit footage, I think about the content strategically. Before I touch the timeline, I listen to the full recording and identify the moments that need visual reinforcement; the hook, the key insight, the pivot, the CTA. Then I build motion graphics objects that serve those moments specifically. The result is a video that feels like a produced show, not a raw recording with effects dropped on top.

Recently, I've been pitching directly to established YouTube creators with spec edits, taking their raw footage and editing it the way I would as their production partner, then sending it alongside a full proposal. It's a bold approach, but it works because the work speaks before the pitch does.

I'm currently open to long-term partnerships with YouTube channels that want their editing to match the quality of their content. If your videos carry themselves on expertise alone and the visuals haven't caught up yet, that's exactly the gap I close.
