Born in Lisbon, based in Barcelona since 2007.
I studied at etic_ Lisbon and IDEP Barcelona, then founded Tokyo o'Clock, my production company, in 2011.
Over the past 19+ years I've edited campaigns for LVMH, Berluti, The Macallan, Audi, Carolina Herrera, Bershka, and dozens more, collaborating directly with creative directors at B-Reel, DDB, McCann, Ogilvy, and BBDO.
Today my work goes beyond the timeline. I get involved from the earliest stages (researching footage, building mood reels, creating pitch videos) through to the final cut and AI-enhanced post-production.
My setup is cloud-native and remote-first, built for collaboration. I integrate seamlessly into agency workflows, plug into pipelines, shared storage and review systems, keeping projects moving without friction.
Beyond the Timeline
Video Editing
Editing from first cut to final master. Commercials, brand films, fashion films and music videos edited with precision, speed and reliability. Trusted by agencies and brands that need an editor who delivers under pressure, even under tight deadlines.
CoreFootage Research
References and footage tailored precisely to your brief. I research across Vimeo, YouTube, stock libraries, film archives, and my own curated collections built over 19 years of editorial research.
ResearchMood Videos & Pitch Reels
The video that wins the pitch. I build mood films, sizzle reels, and pitch reels from curated footage libraries, giving creative directors a way to show clients exactly how the final piece will feel before a single frame is shot. Confidential by nature, essential to the process. Let's talk.
Pre-ProductionAI-Enhanced Creative
I use AI tools to generate imagery, build experimental effects, and extend what’s possible in post-production. New scenes, enhanced footage, and creative solutions that would be impossible with traditional workflows alone.
InnovationMotion Graphics
Titles, graphics, and visual effects designed to live naturally within the edit. Motion is integrated directly into the cut for a seamless final result.
Post-ProductionCase Studies
The video that tells the story of the work. Award submissions, internal presentations, and campaign recaps that show what happened, why it mattered, and how it came together.
