WHAT DO I DO?

Overview:

I am principally a photo & video editor with experience in web, logo, and graphic design. I also like to write and proofread, but those are hobbies more like. I do, however, have experience writing professional legal emails for small businesses as well as altering Terms & Conditions to their liking.

More Specifically:

My specialty with regards to photo editing is retouching/reviving, colour grading/correction, blending multiple images, and cutting out subjects otherwise known as making highly detailed selections, but I can do just about anything to an image. You name it, and I can figure out how to approach making it happen. I am a pixel-by-pixel editor, so I leave no pixel unturned. Video editing, however, is a more recent endeavour.

I use Photoshop and Affinity Photo for the photo edits, and then I use Davinci Resolve for editing videos, however, I have used Premiere in the past. I have been editing photos for about ten years now while video editing was only picked two years ago with intermittent usage starting long before that. For custom designs, whatever those may be, I make use of Affinity Designer or Adobe Illustrator depending on the season. I have extensive experience with Linerarity (previously known as Vectornator), but I have forfeited using that program seeing that I no longer own an Apple device to run it. What can I say? Apple devices are too irritatingly difficult to protect if one is to use public wifi. Nevertheless, I do use Canva on occasion. It is so much easier to get something simple out of that. My friends in graphic design may disagree, but I think that it takes a special kind of talent to make complex designs work in that app merely because it is so overly simplified. I also have experience with many web builders such as but not limited to Framer and Divi.

Once I am able to think of more to share, I will do just that!
