One of my favorite things was the best friend energy from Maia—she makes it feel like you're learning from someone who genuinely believes in you. It’s not this distant, guru-type vibe. Instead, it feels totally doable - you apply what you're learning and make progress in real time.I joined mostly for the cute doodles and animations, and it totally delivered! It opened up a creative side I hadn’t explored before and unlocked a whole new skill set.I’d been using FCP for a while (self-taught) so it was a game-changer to finally learn where everything is and what all the tools actually do.This course is perfect for anyone who feels a bit lost with editing and wants to add that extra cute and creative touch to their content.

about maia

In 7th grade, I asked my mom if I could start a YouTube channel—she said yes, as long as she approved every video first (embarrassing, but fair).

I quickly fell in love with crafting stories and rotting behind the computer editing for long hours. I thought everyone loved it too—until I realized most creators dread post-production and would rather delegate it asap. Lucky for us!

In high school, I started editing videos for an internet friend, which led me to freelancing platforms and a year later, I graduated with a small roster of freelance clients that paid the bills – crazy

50+ clients later, Deya (my client-friend-now business partner) convinced me to that it could be cool to help other people do the same. So… here we are!

about deya

Heya!
I’m a business owner & lucky client of Maia’s.

Before I found her, I probably spent 200+ hours scrolling through editor portfolios. I didn’t want to do the whole aggressive transitions & corporate fonts style. (You know, the one that makes your video look like it was edited by an energy drink.)

In a world where everyone’s trying to be the loudest, there’s something magical about content that is edited in an intentional, cute, girly way. Maia’s been the genius doing that in my videos, helping me grow the channel from 10,000 to over 150,000 subscribers.

So, as a course creator myself I’m excited to help her share it all! 

 

“I am so blessed to be working with Maia! She shows up with an incredibly creative mind and strategic edge in her approach to editing my videos. We experiment with new styles together, and she's always up to try something new!Maia goes above and beyond to deliver phenomenal work. I'm always so excited to watch the edited videos she delivers.”

I've worked with Maia for over a year and to keep it short and sweet she has been absolutely incredible! I needed someone to help me with my weekly uploads to YouTube and other work and every week she smashes it! I absolutely love the work she creates and I couldn't be happier and more grateful for her hard work!"

"Maia is exceptional! I had to give her minimal directions for her to absolutely nail my vision and execute it perfectly. She's wicked fast and very detail-oriented-she's my go-to for all things video."

"Working with Maia was incredible! I needed an intro for my vlogmas but didn't quite know the aesthetic I was going for. Even though I gave little directions, she presented me with original & creative ideas that were 100% my style! I loved everything from the colors chosen, to the music. Truly recommend!"

“Although my work with Maia was limited to one project, she were proactive with her communication and her uncompromised work ethic shined through during the project that they completed for my Youtube channel. If you're looking for a committed freelancer to deliver your project within a required timeline, look no further!”

“Maia is the BEST. She is one of the best hires I've ever made (and I've made a LOT of hires for myself and for my clients!) She is incredibly talented, skilled, thoughtful, creative and takes such initiative to help me with anything & everything related to my content. She is great at editing thoughtfully and engaging the audience with her edits.She's super invested in my content and the growth of my channel strategically as well; her advice has come so in handy in the growth of my channel. She takes feedback super well & always goes the extra mile in her work. Aside from her amazing technical skills, her soft skills are top tier. She is so supportive, empathetic, and proactive.”

Heya! I’m Deya! I’m a business owner & lucky client of Maia’s.

Before I found her, I probably spent 200+ hours endlessly scrolling through editor portfolios on EVERY platform I could think to hire a video editor. I didn’t want to do the whole aggressive zoom transitions, corporate fonts and overly exposed-400%-contrast colors that punch you in the face style. (You know, the one that makes your video look like it was edited by an energy drink.)

When I finally found Maia, I swear the angels sang. For the past year, Maia’s been the mastermind behind my video editing; my Youtube channel grew from 10,000 to over 100,000 subscribers during our work together.

In a world where everyone’s trying to be the loudest, there’s something magical about content that is edited in an intentional, cute, girly way. <3

I’m a freelancer video editor + fashion content creator who loves reading, cooking and browsing for cool interior design lamps online.

I never aspired to add “course creator” to my resume, but the thing is, I find my job so fun, that after months and months of my client (Deya, more on her later) trying to convince me to do this, I realized it would be cool to help other people do the same.

In 7th grade, I asked my mom for permission to create a Youtube channel. She said yes (as long as she watched all the videos before they were published – embarassing, but okay) . I loved documenting my life, crafting stories, and rotting behind on the computer, designing and editing. I thought that’s what everyone loved about it too, until I realized most content creators dread post-production and would rather delegate it as soon as possible (good for us, I guess).

So, in junior year oh high school, when a friend of mine asked me to edit her videos, I was thrilled. Somehow, a year later, I graduated already financially independent, with a little roster of freelance clients under my belt.
