My story
When COVID-19 shut everything down in 2019, I picked up a free editing app out of pure boredom — just cutting clips for fun, with zero plan of turning it into anything. That boredom turned into obsession fast: through the months that followed I spent late nights learning frame by frame, teaching myself pacing, sound design and color through nothing but tutorials, trial and error, and hundreds of hours in the timeline — no film school, no shortcuts, just reps.
By 2022, the hobby had become a craft good enough to charge for. I took on my first paying clients, learned how to manage feedback and deadlines, and started building an actual production workflow instead of just editing one video at a time. That workflow is what eventually grew into Mic n Lens.
Today, that same curiosity from a locked-down bedroom has turned into a full production studio. I assist podcast hosts across the globe — from mindset coaches to finance shows to health & wellness podcasts — with editing, video, publishing and growth strategy, helping their shows sound sharper and reach further, one episode at a time.
