About Me
Here’s a closer look at who I am and why I do it.
James Paul Tran
Expected 2027 B.A. Communications. Minor in Computer Science.
I'm a 2005 baby from the Chicago suburbs who accidentally turned a love for posting TikTok fan edits into a full-on obsession with digital marketing. I started experimenting with video editing in 2023, teaching myself Adobe After Effects, picking up a new skill every day until I mastered it. Through my fan edit account, I not only discovered the power of social media but also how to harness it. What started as a hobby quickly turned into a passion, which led me to switch my major from Computer Science to Communications.In addition to video editing and social media strategy, I've gained skills in SEO, graphic design, typography, web design, and branding. Every project is an opportunity to create, grow, and produce content that genuinely connects with people.And if I'm not obsessing over marketing, you can probably find me on a tennis court.Let's build something great together. Also, if you love Hamilton, we might just get along.
