Sarika Thakorlal

I’m a UK-based video editor and creative with 10+ years’ experience creating premium social-first content and campaigns for global brands including Too Faced, Sephora, r.e.m. beauty, Kylie Cosmetics and Elemis. My background spans editing, storytelling, content production and creative direction, with a particular love for turning raw footage into polished, engaging content that feels considered without feeling over-produced. I’m drawn to YouTube content with a strong point of view — founder stories, business, lifestyle, behind-the-scenes and personality-led content where pacing, narrative and the right edit can make something genuinely enjoyable to watch. My editing style is clean and intentional: strong storytelling, thoughtful pacing, music and sound, colour and graphics where they add something — rather than effects for the sake of effects. I work primarily in DaVinci Resolve and am comfortable taking ownership from raw footage through to final delivery, working independently from a clear brief or collaborating closely to develop the creative style of a channel. Alongside client work, I also create and manage my own YouTube content, giving me hands-on experience of the wider platform and the process beyond the edit itself. I’m currently open to remote freelance, contract and ongoing editing partnerships.
