The edit room
Premiere Pro and After Effects daily, Resolve for the grade. Sound design treated as half the edit, never an afterthought.

I'm a video editor with 3+ years of experience shaping raw footage into stories that actually land — reels, brand films, YouTube long-form and short-form cutdowns.
Alongside the edit, I design the things around it: thumbnails, brand kits, social systems and motion graphics that make a channel look like it belongs to someone.
I also design and prototype interfaces. Understanding UX makes me a sharper editor — pacing, hierarchy and attention are the same problem in a different medium.
The design desk
Figma systems, brand kits and thumbnails. The same eye that paces a cut sets hierarchy on a screen.

One person,
the whole pipeline
Storyboard, shoot list, edit, motion, grade, thumbnail and handoff — you brief once instead of coordinating four freelancers.

What I make
From a single reel to a full brand system — every deliverable is built to hold attention, not just to look finished.
- 01
Video Editing
Narrative cutdowns, brand films and long-form edits with rhythm-led pacing, sound design and colour that carries the mood.
- 02
Short-Form Reels
Vertical edits built for the first 1.5 seconds — hook, caption rhythm and beat-matched cuts tuned per platform.
- 03
Motion Graphics
Titles, lower-thirds, kinetic type and animated logo stings in After Effects that stay on brand across an entire series.
- 04
Graphic Design
Thumbnails, posters, social systems and brand kits — layouts engineered for contrast and click-through, not just for looks.
- 05
UI/UX Design
Research, wireframes and high-fidelity Figma systems for web and mobile products, handed off with tokens and components.
- 06
Colour & Finishing
Log-to-Rec709 conversion, matching across cameras, grain and print emulation so the final master feels intentional.

What clients say
01
Aakrity turned around a launch film in four days and it still felt considered. She understood the brand faster than agencies we'd paid ten times as much.
02
Her reels doubled our watch-through rate. She doesn't just cut — she rebuilds the hook until it works, then tells you why it works.
03
The rare designer who can hand off a Figma file our engineers didn't have a single question about. Editing and UX in one person is a cheat code.
