Garmin Instinct

Roles: Video Editor | Sound Designer | Colorist

Industry: Commercial | Branded Content

As the video editor, sound designer, and colorist on this commercial project for the Garmin Instinct smartwatch, I helped bring the campaign’s vision to life—highlighting the rugged environments this outdoor GPS watch is built to endure. The spot focuses on firefighters in extreme brush fire conditions, and the storytelling relied heavily on fast-paced editing, immersive environmental sound design, and a cinematic color grade that captured the intense heat, dry air, and chaos of the scene.

This campaign is a great example of my work in commercial editing for action and outdoor brands, blending dynamic visuals with high-impact audio and bold, story-driven color.

This breakdown isolates the immersive sound design I created to heighten tension, emphasize environmental textures, and support narrative pacing. Designed in Adobe Premiere Pro
