About Mary Desmond
I’m a multimedia storyteller with 7+ years of experience producing over creative projects for organizations like CoStar Group’s Homes.com, Virginia Tech Athletics, and Virginia Tech Student Affairs. I specialize in taking projects from concept to completion — balancing technical expertise in Adobe Creative Suite with strong project management skills. Whether editing short-form videos, leading cross-team collaborations, or mentoring peers, I thrive on creating content that informs, inspires, and connects communities.Explore my work in detail at marymichaeladesmond.com
Experience
Video Editor
Aug 2023 — Present · Richmond, VA, US
In 2 years with Costar Group, I have crafted over 400+ videos for Homes.com. In short - I lead the end to end video production process for Homes.com City and Neighborhood videos. These videos, which can be found on Homes.com, guide viewers through various cities and neighborhoods across the country, giving them in-depth information on places they\'re thinking of buying a home. Every day, I collaborate with content writers, videographers from all over the country, and work with in-house voiceover artists to drive projects forward. With a strong background as a video production manager, I bring high-level communication skills to this role. My strong interpersonal communication skills support frequent collaboration with divisional partners and other community stakeholders. I am able to take complex creative video concepts, consult with partners, and translate them into concrete production plans to be negotiated, actualized, and reported for stakeholders. Any of my current and prior colleagues will attest to my deadline-focused management strategy, positive energy, empathy, and flexibility when it comes to my project management skills.
