Video Editor / Producer - One Tree Planted
Storytelling
for Climate & Community
Video Editor & Producer with over a decade of experience crafting story-driven documentaries, social campaigns, and digital ads for purpose-driven brands. I created this page specifically for the Video Editor / Producer role at One Tree Planted to show how my work, experience, and values align with your mission.
Previously, I founded Hello Avani, a small studio focused on environmentally minded storytelling, and I'm now looking to bring that experience into a full‑time role on a mission‑driven team.

origin & Purpose
Why I Started Hello Avani
I started Hello Avani because I wanted my work to reflect what matters most to me: care for the earth, respect for communities, and a belief that stories can help people choose better futures.
The name “Avani” means “earth,” and the studio became a way to partner with sustainable brands and nonprofits on films and campaigns that honored that idea.
01
ROOTED IN PURPOSE
Through Hello Avani, I’ve been able to experiment, learn, and collaborate closely with clients who care deeply about climate, responsibility, and impact.
02
"Avani" means earth
The studio was built around respect for land, people, and biodiversity — the same values at the heart of One Tree Planted’s work. This isn’t a pivot; it’s a natural continuation.
03
A clarifying realization
That experience made something clear: I don’t just want to support this work from the outside — I want to embed inside a team whose mission I believe in and help shape its storytelling over the long term.

Why One Tree Planted, and Why Now
One Tree Planted is doing the kind of work I’ve been pointing my career toward for years: tangible climate action, rooted in reforestation and community, communicated through hopeful stories of change. I’m at a point where I want to commit my energy to one mission, build deep relationships with a team, and help evolve a body of work over time rather than project‑by‑project.
End‑to‑end ownership
Bring my experience running projects from research and scripting to edit and motion into a collaborative, mission‑aligned team.
Focus on craft
Less time juggling studio operations, more time on story development, editing, and motion for one organization whose impact I care about.
Long‑term visual language
Help create a consistent, recognizable storytelling language for your campaigns, project stories, and social channels — and iterate on it over time.
If I join One Tree Planted full time, Hello Avani shifts from being my primary focus to a background for occasional, carefully chosen collaborations that don’t conflict with my responsibilities to your team.

methodology
How I Approach Impact Storytelling
My process is built around clarity, emotional truth, and respect for the communities and ecosystems at the heart of each story.
01
discover
I learn the project goals, audiences, and on‑the‑ground realities, then identify the most human, hopeful angle for the story.
02
SHAPE
I develop treatments, outlines, and interview questions that balance emotional arcs with clear educational content and project impact.
03
CRAFT
I learn the project goals, audiences, and on‑the‑ground realities, then identify the most human, hopeful angle for the story.
04
Optimize
I adapt the story for specific platforms — cutting shorter versions, testing hooks, and refining pacing so each piece performs where it lives.
about & contact
Let's Grow Something Together
I’m a Texas‑based video editor and producer with over a decade of experience working with brands and organizations on documentaries, digital campaigns, and social content. My work leans toward stories about sustainability, community, and climate solutions.
Along the way, I founded Hello Avani as a way to focus my practice on environmentally conscious storytelling. Building that studio sharpened my skills in creative direction, client management, and end‑to‑end production — but it also made it clear that my best work happens when I’m fully embedded in a mission‑driven team.
That’s why I’m pursuing the Video Editor / Producer role with One Tree Planted: I want to bring everything I’ve learned — craft, process, and purpose — into a long‑term collaboration focused on reforestation and nature‑based solutions.
Thank you for reviewing my application and portfolio. I’d be thrilled to support One Tree Planted’s mission as your next Video Editor / Producer.
