Hello.

My name is Laura Roe.

I edit moving pictures and still images in Portland, Oregon. I love moving pixels around on my computer to creatively and thoughtfully tell a story.

With 12 years of post-production experience, I've worked as an editor and data manager for television, web videos, and commercials, as well as countless independent projects and labors of love.

My favorite tools are Premiere and Photoshop, but I also work with Final Cut, After Effects, and Illustrator. 

I'm a huge fan of screens large and small, and if you enjoy a passionate discussion about which Coen Brothers movie is best (Miller's Crossing), or what series you're currently bingeing, we will be fast friends.
