what I've been cutting

Selected work.

B33 Konstanz

Baden-Württemberg's largest road project: a four-lane expansion and the Röhrenberg tunnel, covered on site.

A8 Enztal

Baden-Württemberg's largest motorway project, widened from four lanes to six. 1.1 million cubic metres of earth moved.

Hülskens Wasserbau

A day inside the underwater work that keeps the Rhine navigable.

Nuremberg–Regensburg

80 kilometres of new track, 40 new switches and 90 kilometres of overhead line, all inside one six-month closure.

Munich U5

Munich's new metro line, and why the team chose this method over a tunnel boring machine.

Schleith

A brand film for a construction company, built to leave an impression rather than list services.

what I do

From job site, to final cut.

Long-Form Editing

I turn hours of site footage into a film that makes complex machinery and processes easy to follow. Selects, B-roll, research, sound design, colour grade. One editor, the whole post pipeline, start to finish.

Short-Form for Socials

Short-form cuts built for social, not just resized. Construction and industrial footage, paced and hooked the way the platform actually rewards.

On-site filming

Primarily an editor, but I also film on active sites across the Gold Coast, Brisbane and Northern NSW.

Languages

Projects are delivered in English or German.

Software

Cut in Adobe Premiere Pro, the industry-standard.

in their words

What it's like to work with me.

I've worked with Julia for almost a year and a half, and she's been instrumental to the long-form content on our YouTube channel. From the idea, through the storyline, to the edit and the creative input, she runs the projects entirely on her own. What I value in Julia is her clear eye for storyline and her fast, reliable work. A collaboration I'd recommend to anyone..
Richard Vogel[BAU-MEDIEN]translated from German
Julia stands out through her fast, precise, and creative approach to video editing. Her work is not only technically flawless, but also visually engaging and perfectly tailored to the intended message.
Leo Schweibenz[Zeppelin Baumaschinen GmbH]translated from German
Reliable, professional, and genuinely cares about the work. Communication was always clear and the final edits landed exactly where we wanted them.
Miri Rusakov[Miridsgns]
Without me even giving her a clear brief, she instantly understood the vibe I was going for. Julia is incredibly detail-oriented, proactive, and genuinely cares about the outcome.

about me

Hi, I'm Julia.

I'm a freelance video editor based on the Gold Coast, creating videos for industrial, engineering and construction brands across Australia and worldwide.

I learned this industry from the inside. Starting at Bosch during my studies in communications for Commercial Vehicle & Off Road, then completed an international marketing trainee programme at Zeppelin, a CAT dealer. That's where I learned about heavy machinery, site processes, and the way technical teams talk about their work.

I've been self-employed since April 2025, and my focus has sharpened from social media into long-form editing for construction and technical brands, the space I came to love most. Currently cutting the channel for BAU-MEDIEN. What sets me apart isn't just editing skill, it's years spent inside this exact industry, and results that back it up.

Hours of footage, nobody to cut it?

One 30-minute call. If I'm not the right person for it, I'll tell you.
