Ali Abdaal Historical review Cristian's editing was a huge part of what made the channel blow up. We worked together for many years and it was an awesome working relationship. It freed up a huge amount of my time to be able to focus on actually making the videos without having to edit them myself and on growing other areas of the business. 100% would recommend.

Brian Lagerstrom Historical review Cristian was our first-ever editor, and he’s great at what he does. He has a sense of humor and brought a lot of fun, comedic timing to our videos that we really liked. He's also ridiculously fast which was a massive bonus - the time difference wasn't an issue. Ultimately we were looking for a very detailed, minimalist editing style which is why we parted ways. Would recommend. Retained source review

15 years working with creators as a solo operator. No sub-hiring or agency work. My aim is that you, the creator, can relax knowing business is taken care of. I prefer long-term working relationships. One creator, full focus, deep familiarity with the style, growing together. I don't view people as clients but try to be the partner they need in their business. Reliability, clear communication and prompt delivery are traits I take pride in.
Editing is the core, but I bring a lot more to the table: 20+ years of experience in branding, print, illustration, and digital design, plus motion GFX, scripting, ideation, and workflow systems. All of it is oriented around making your life easier and getting your voice heard. I usually also handle the day to day running of the channels, community engagement, merch development, course development and editing and various other business avenues.
Editing-wise, I have good instincts for flow and comedic timing and know how to use those moments without leaning on impact SFX and overused memes. Pacing and storytelling are something I think about constantly, always with the viewer in mind while making sure your personality and humanity shine through. Relentless in learning new things and having it come out right, whatever "it" is. I generally stay away from brainrot and content meant for teens and under.
The content I've edited has crossed 800 million views in longform alone.
