ABOUT ME.
Hello! I'm Karen Barboza.
Originally from San Diego, CA and currently in Irvine, CA.
​
In high school, I was introduced to editing and that fire never stopped growing. Throughout college, I was able to develop my skills as an editor and colorist by working on short films, features, and video content. I have also developed a love for motion graphics.
​
I enjoy watching thrillers, anime, and creepy video essays.
