BIOGRAPHY

Reading the timeline, editing for the feeling.

I'm Shayan, a video editor and visual storyteller focused on high-retention narrative editing, pacing, and sound design. I treat every project like a small film.

Whether it's an investigative mini-doc for an economic channel or high-octane short-form content built to stop the infinite scroll, I believe the half-second war for attention is won in the details.

"Pacing, sound design and seamless transitions, graded for mood. Your audience doesn't just watch videos—they feel them."
