Tessa was an outstanding lead series edit producer on Super Cruising: Life at Sea and played a pivotal role in shaping the tone, style, and overall identity of the series. Her creative instincts were spot on from the start, bringing a warm, witty and polished sensibility to the storytelling. Tessa was a pleasure to collaborate with—positive, calm under pressure, and always open to ideas. She handled commissioner and exec notes with professionalism and clarity, managing the inevitable back-and-forth of a new series with grace and efficiency. Her temp VO for rough cuts was exceptional—engaging, funny, and perfectly judged for the channel—and helped elevate each episode in the early stages. She consistently delivered stylish, funny and informative cuts that made for truly watchable TV. I’d work with her again in a heartbeat and would highly recommend her for any series looking for editorial leadership with creative flair.
