Since high school, I have created my own educational gaming videos on YouTube. I was always interested in video games and video editing. Through this process, I have learned how to brand myself by designing logos and banners for my channel, as well as editing videos with a consistent theme. I added my own commentary over my videos to give viewers insight into the content I produced. Also, I did motion graphics and designed custom thumbnails for each of my videos to present my channel in a professional and trustworthy way.
