    I have 3 years of experience in color grading, editing, and cinematography. My preferred software for both color grading and editing is DaVinci Resolve. In terms of cinematography, I have ample experience in 3-point lighting, composition, and movement. In color grading, my strengths lie heavily in creating a visual narrative, utilizing color wheels, color space, etc. With editing, setting the tone in sequence is my specialty. Utilizing the narrative given or even creating my narrative, creating an atmosphere with cohesive cuts. In color grading, my best work is without a doubt "Clementine". A short film that I worked on early to mid 2024. Clementine was nominated for 10+ film festivals both nationally and internationally, so it was able to reach a global audience.

    Creating engaging video content is what I do best. In a world that is overflowing with visual content, I look to stand-out by using the inherent advantages of video to convey information which is aesthetic, professional, and relatable to the human story. I am able to handle a project through all stages of production (planning, shooting, editing), as well as at each individual stage. I produce video anywhere from the 30-seconds to 20-minutes, and I pride myself on being able to handle a diverse range of clients (anything from 3D printing companies to bicycle manufacturers and restaurants). My content suits most digital platforms and in 2019 I had a 20 minute documentary, 'Bringing It Home', aired on national television. I find it essential to thoroughly consult with clients to clearly understand their objectives, and then deliver a final product that exceeds expectation. Clients can expect quick response times, a dedicated work ethic, and a highly professional product. I look forward to working with you!

    Looking at my desk which I made from an old trestle table, I see a lamp made with a brick base and a discarded tin bowl, there are two leather containers which hold my tools for the accessories I make from discarded materials, plants are thriving everywhere, and books about the world, nature, birds and creative 'visual' story-telling I can say (with confidence) say that I am a creative inside-out. I started as a camera assistant for a local television series, then upgraded to become a camera operator, I taught myself how to edit, and over the years became a pro in Adobe's Creative Suit. I directed and produced multiple television series and developed content as an art director and editor/designer for some huge brands across (basically all mediums). I have a tangible passion for the world and all living beings. I hope to earn an income for you guys to serve others and the planet.
