"I worked with Ian while we were both at VMLY&R NY. And he was great. Not only is he a supremely talented editor -- he's also an extremely nice guy. And when you're in an edit booth late at night or over the weekend working on some high-stress pitch video -- you need an editor with both those traits. He made the work look great, and he kept the whole process fun. Hopefully our paths will cross again soon."

"I've worked with Ian on a handful of projects at Huge's studio in Brooklyn, and he is an awesome editor and a super nice guy to boot. Fast, versatile, and good at coming up with creative solutions to challenges in the edit. Highly recommend."

"Ian is a great editor who always delivers, and always has a smile on his face. I've worked with him on case studies, mood films and more. Not only have I always enjoyed the process, but (most importantly) I've always come out with a great piece of film at the end of it. All thanks to his work ethic and craftsmanship."

"I had the pleasure of working with Ian at BBDO. He was brought on to be editor for a FedEx project creating socially digestible videos to enter the conversation surrounding their PGA sponsorships.
At the time I had no art director partner, and entrusted Ian and his creative ability to not only edit, but create 30 second spots from a huge dump of content provided by the PGA. Ian meticulously sifted through all the footage. And, for each video, four in total, he provided the clients and I with three different cuts he felt worked the best.
Very receptive to feedback, the two of us curated four videos together in a creative process that was a breath of fresh air compared to other video editors I've worked with.
His creative vision and editing abilities allowed the client to gain a foothold in the conversation surrounding their sponsorship and were some of the best performing pieces on their social channels. By stepping up in my time of need of visual creative guidance he greatly exceeded any expectations I could have asked for.
I look forward to more projects in the future where Ian and I could work together, and would recommend him to anyone looking for a fantastic video editor."

"Ian is a dedicated and thorough video editor who knows the craft on an expert level. I've had plenty of projects that either took a left turn due to client asks, or an 11th hour edit request, and Ian's flexibility on adapting to unexpected feedback and jumping into work head first has been so instrumental in delivering quality client work on time and within budget. In addition to his vast skills as a video editor, his communication and creative instincts are top tier. I'd highly recommend Ian to help with your video projects and as a creative ally in executing a client's vision and exceeding their expectations. I always look forward to working with Ian and guarantee you will as well!"
