I am a Senior Colorist and award-winning filmmaker who has shaped the visual language of international documentaries, feature films, and commercial campaigns. Operating exclusively in DaVinci Resolve Studio, I specialize in crafting premium, cinematic looks that elevate your story and captivate your audience. Whether you are producing a fast-paced Meta ad, an indie short, or a feature-length documentary, color is your final emotional touch. Having directed my own award-winning projects for the international festival circuit, I approach every grade not just as a technical expert, but with a director's eye for storytelling, mood, and visual continuity. My Core Color Grading Services: Creative Look Development: Building custom, highly polished visual styles tailored to your narrative. Advanced Shot Matching & Balancing: Seamlessly matching mixed camera formats (from 8-bit footage to high-end RAW and Log profiles like Sony S-Log3, ARRI LogC, or RED). Skin Tone Perfection & Relighting: Ensuring natural, flattering skin tones and a clean, premium aesthetic across all scenes. Commercial & Social Media Grading: Delivering punchy, high-contrast, and color-accurate grades for brands and Meta ads. Bonus Service: The Complete Theatrical Finish (DCP) Do you need your film ready for the big screen? As an additional service, I offer fully compliant, DCI-standard Digital Cinema Package (DCP) mastering. I have successfully delivered flawless theatrical packages for major international events, saving my clients the hassle and cost of hiring a separate post-production house. You don't need to stress over theatrical delivery. I can grade your film and provide the final cinema-ready package all in one place. Let’s discuss the visual goals for your project. Send me a message today, and I would be happy to provide a quick test grade on a few frames of your footage to show you what we can achieve!

YouTube, Social Media and TikTok content needs professional editing, and I deliver this as a video editor and colorist working with DaVinci Resolve Studio, professional color palettes, and 10-bit calibrated monitors to achieve clean and visually consistent results. Every project has different needs, so I adapt the editing style to the purpose of the video whether it’s informative, creative, promotional, short-form or long-form. From raw footage to final delivery, I manage editing, color and basic finishing while keeping communication simple and clear. “Let’s connect and talk about what your video needs.” (Please take a moment to watch my reel!)
