ABOUT ME

— I’m based in the Philippines and have been editing since 2016.

— I founded Zenith Studios as my personal creative hub — a solo operation today, but built with the ambition to become a full production powerhouse.

— I specialize in short-form storytelling, UGC content, Meta ads, and performance-driven video editing.

— I also produce viral-style clips, talking heads, AI-generated content, and long-form VSLs — tailoring each edit for maximum retention and emotional impact.

— I edit primarily in Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, and CapCut, and integrate AI tools like ElevenLabs, VEO3, Sora, Higgsfield, and Arcads to streamline workflow and creative output.

— I love experimenting with the latest AI tools to push creative boundaries and streamline production workflows.

— I’ve taken various courses in video editing and marketing, allowing me to approach projects with both creative and strategic insight.

— My workflow extends beyond editing — I have handled creative direction, ad scripting, and social media optimization.

— I run two YouTube channels: PolaroidPete (24.7K subscribers) — historical storytelling with an average of 300K views per video. TheRatstronautReport (11.5K subscribers) — short-form documentaries with viral hits reaching over 3M views.
— These channels are my personal testing ground for retention, pacing, and storytelling systems.

— I closely follow trends on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, ensuring every edit aligns with current audience behavior and platform dynamics.

— I constantly study the best YouTubers to understand what makes their content click — creators like Vox, Iman Gadzhi, Johnny Harris, Lemmino, Kurzgesagt, and Cleo Abram continue to inspire and influence my editing style.

— While working with brands, I’ve often been promoted quickly due to my high-performing ad results — consistently achieving strong ROAS and efficient spending. These opportunities led me to senior creative and marketing roles, deepening my understanding not just of editing, but of storytelling that sells.

— I’m organized, efficient, and detail-oriented — equally comfortable managing creative workflows solo or collaborating within a team environment.

— Above all, I’m passionate about using editing to move audiences and deliver measurable results.​​​​
