Jennifer Guild

In my time working with Julia at MedBridge, I was impressed with not only her editing skills, but her eagerness to learn and grow. She worked on several projects that grew her skills in both editing and producing. Julia does a wonderful job telling a story through video. She has an eye for pacing and shot selection, and her videos are always high quality. She's a great team collaborator as well as being a joy to work with. I highly recommend Julia, she's a great addition to any team!

Carson Einarsen

I cannot recommend Julia enough and wish I got to work with her more often. She has an innate understanding of pacing and editorial structure that I rarely see in this business. She made my job so much easier because of her creative approach to the subject matter, her incredibly positive attitude and her flexibility taking direction. Across the board, absolutely fantastic, can't wait to work with her again!
