Biography
Adriana’s work is much respected, her editing style is inspired by a love of dance, editing with a sense of rhythm and conveying emotion through storytelling.
She is particularly well known in the beauty world where her reputation is unsurpassed, regularly working with major brands including Dior, YSL, Dolce Gabbana and Givenchy. Her talent extends to all genres including comedy, which she loves as well.
Adriana knew from a young age that she wanted to be an editor and this was confirmed when, at 14 years old, she saw Jean Baptiste Mondino working on a Vanessa Paradis music video- from there she knew she wanted to be part of that world.
Studying cinematography at ESRA in Paris where she started training on Avid, Adriana says, “between Avid and me, it was love at first sight!” Soon after her training Adriana began working as an editor and then quickly started cutting music videos.
Adriana believes the director wants ‘your eyes and your opinion’ and she understands the piece through the footage, often without the storyboards, using her incredible instinct to create the edit.
Adriana’s commercial credits include ads for Diesel (Francois Rousselet), Orange (Martin Werner), Apple (James Gray), Dolce & Gabbana (JB Mondino) and Heineken (Megaforce).
