About Eryn

As a three time Emmy winning editor with years of experience in short and long form editing for broadcast television, I take pride in being a creative thinker and problem solver. I am very comfortable in the decision making process of editing as well as collaborating to fulfill the producer’s or client’s vision. I am proficient in HD video editing using AVID Media Composer, Premiere Pro, and Final Cut Pro Studio, digital motion graphics using After Effects, graphics editing using Photoshop, and audio editing using Audition and Encore. My fine arts background fuels my creativity and eye for detail in any project and I relishes the challenge of visual story telling
