About Ursula

I am a senior filmmaker and editor with over 15 years of experience in documentary, branded content, cultural projects, and narrative formats for digital platforms.

I specialize in transforming complex material—interviews, archives, unscripted shoots, or large volumes of raw footage—into clear, emotional, and well-paced stories. Before editing, I seek to understand what truly drives each project: its themes, its points of tension, and the journey it should take the viewer on. From there, I build the structure, tone, and audiovisual identity of each piece.

I can accompany a project from start to finish—concept, script, production, interviews, shooting, and post-production—or join exclusively as an editor. I am accustomed to working with international teams, agencies, artists, institutions, and clients who require autonomy, creative judgment, and fluid communication.

I primarily work with Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, and iZotope RX. I speak Spanish, English, and German, and I work from Barcelona for both in-person and remote projects.
