About

Video editor and creative lead who cares about pacing, clarity and a clean final cut.

I have spent more than ten years in video production, post-production and graphic design. I started in Nepali newsrooms, cutting environmental reports and documentaries for NEFEJ and children's news for NayaPusta.

Since 2024 I have managed the editing team at MarketMaker Mgmt. I plan the workflow, review every edit before it ships and still cut the most important pieces myself. Alongside that I freelance for TNN Nepal, Biiyond Production and 25 Hours.
