During university studies, began a professional media career with an internship at Dunya News, gaining hands-on experience as an Assistant Non-Linear Editor. Worked within a professional newsroom environment and developed practical skills in television news editing and post-production.
Studied Filmmaking and Documentary Production, with a focus on production techniques, editing theory and visual storytelling.
Completed a psychological crime-thriller short film exploring the impact of drug use, a documentary examining children being used as begging tools in Pakistan, and a product commercial advertisement.
Completed an internship at a local news channel as an Assistant Non-Linear Editor, gaining hands-on experience in professional video editing and television news production.
Journalism was my main area of interest, with a particular focus on the history and development of television journalism in Pakistan — how it evolved from print media to electronic media, and the impact of that transition on news production, storytelling and audiences.
Also studied the work of renowned documentarians, exploring their storytelling approaches, working methods and techniques for presenting real-world subjects through documentary filmmaking.
My primary edit bay — every project starts and ends here. Five years of cuts, structure, and pacing built inside this timeline.
Where titles, lower-thirds, and custom animation get built — layered compositing for when a cut alone isn't enough.
Brought in on top of the Premiere edit for color correction and grading — this is what gives footage its final look.
Quick logo work and vector illustration when a project needs graphics built from scratch, not just edited.
Photo retouching and thumbnail composites that support the video — not the main tool, but a constant one.
Scalable on-screen graphics and branding elements that need to hold up at any size, from a thumbnail to a title card.
Used specifically for AI UGC ad work — generating base footage that I then script, edit, and finish by hand.
Concept art and visual references for pitches and mood boards, before a single frame gets cut.
