About Us

We're Kismet Design--a small, crafty studio making mid-century-inspired furniture and lighting... and the content that tells those stories. You'll collaborate with

Ivan (@kismet_design)

and

Konstantin (creative direction for Fortune 500 companies & 100k+ Content creators )

to create videos people actually finish.

The Role

You'll edit

short-form

(Reels/TikTok/Shorts), plus

cinematic storytelling

and

interview/VO

pieces. If you care about rhythm, pacing, clean organization, and color that feels natural--not gimmicky--you'll fit right in.

What You'll Do

Build tight,

engaging narratives

from interviews + b-roll. Cut with great

timing and rhythm

; design

shot sequences

that escalate interest. Perform

color correction & grading

for a premium, true-to-life look. Clean up

audio

(dialogue edits, noise reduction, EQ/compression in

Adobe Audition

). Add tasteful

graphics & typography

(lower-thirds, captions, supers; smart font choices). Keep projects

organized

(folder structure, naming, proxies, versioning). Deliver platform-ready exports (ratios, captions, data rates).

What You Bring (Skills & Traits)

Premiere Pro

: fast, fluent, organized. Strong grasp of

visual storytelling/cinematography

and

shot variety

.

Meticulous and patient

: you comb footage and pick with intent.

Engagement intuition

: you know why a beat lands (or doesn't).

Advanced color sense

without overcooking it.

Adobe Audition

for VO cleanup and polish. Ability to

focus for long stretches

and follow a clear system.

Nice-to-Haves

After Effects

/ motion graphics.

Videography

experience; comfort with cameras, lenses, focal lengths. Your own

production kit

(share your gear list if you have one).

Concepting/scriptwriting

--huge plus. Great ideas win.

Growth Path

Videographer/Editor

: pick up shooting days if you've got the chops.

Creative Director

: own visual language, sets, and mentor other editors.

Why Work With Us

Portfolio first:

this is for editors who want to leave with an

amazing reel

--not just tick boxes. You will have several 1-5M+ view short form videos within a few months working with us.

Real mentorship:

direct feedback from Ivan & Konstantin.

Clarity over chaos:

structured briefs, references, decisive direction.

Small team, big upside:

your work ships, gets seen, and matters.

, based on experience and a small paid test.

Long Term

- earn up to $30-40 per hour after you've been with us for at least 1 year and meet/exceed expectations. Part-time to start; expand as we scale. On-site preferred; hybrid considered.
