​

Approach

I approach my work with a unique perspective that takes into account your needs. My style and technique are broad and flexible, developed over years of training and experience.

About

I’m an experienced editor with a passion for crafting powerful, immersive stories. Over the years, I’ve worked across a wide range of formats, from fast-paced sports highlights and reality television to high-end feature films and gripping documentaries. Whether cutting quick-turnaround packages or shaping the nuanced pacing of long-form storytelling, I bring precision, creativity, and an instinct for narrative flow to every project.

​

My career began in visual effects, working on major blockbusters such as Harry Potter, where I gained invaluable experience in graphics and cinematic storytelling. That foundation led me to editing, where I found my true calling—piecing together raw footage to create compelling, emotionally resonant narratives.

​

For the past 13 years, my focus has been on factual entertainment, working on acclaimed documentaries and reality programming for major broadcasters such as the BBC, Channel 4, and Discovery. From high-profile investigative series to character-driven human stories, I excel at building tension, refining pacing, and ensuring every frame serves the story.

​

I thrive in fast-paced environments, balancing creative intuition with technical precision. Whether collaborating with directors and producers or leading post-production teams, I bring efficiency, adaptability, and a commitment to delivering top-tier content under tight deadlines.

Testimonials

"I loved working with Libi, she is the Queen of fast-cut, high-impact, sexy-looking television. But at the same time she is very calm and personable when faced with a whole mass of material. She really helped shape Helen Skelton's South Pole trek into a good-looking, compelling narrative that gripped our audience and delivered emotional highs and lows."
