Crafting stories that hit the heart — and the algorithm.

​

I’m Nicole — a San Francisco-based video editor, creative producer, and narrative nerd with over a decade of experience in post-production. I cut my teeth on film sets in New York City (shoutout to The Americans and The Real Housewives), but quickly found my true rhythm in the edit bay — where pacing, emotion, and subtle details come to life.

​

Since then, I’ve edited everything from feature animation at Netflix (Escape From Hat) to viral shortform content for educators, creators, and cultural brands. I bring a sharp eye for storytelling and an intuitive sense of what moves people — whether it's a scripted short, a docu-style reel, or a meme-laced TikTok that somehow makes you cry.

​

My work has screened at Urban World, HBO’s Women in Comedy Festival, and the Arclight Hollywood, and I’ve collaborated with clients across film, wellness, tech, and live performance. Lately, I’ve been deep in the world of shortform — editing educational content, directing AI-assisted visuals, and playing with new formats at the edge of media and meaning.

​

When I’m not editing, I’m usually hosting salon-style gatherings, making ritual films, or pondering the mythic soul of the internet. I’m always up for creative collaborations that blend meaning and motion.
