I am a certified Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve Colourist with in-depth knowledge of post-production workflows and processes, built over 18 years working in the media industry and specialising in colour grading since 2013.
I have worked on many short and long-form projects for well-established clients and companies such as Sony(SIE), BBC World, Discovery +, UKTV, RSA films, Vice Media, WPP, IRIS Worldwide, GTB, FCB Inferno, Sassy Films, Adjust Your Set, JSR, Be Heard Group and Ichi Worldwide.
I have a natural flair for colour and a sharp eye for detail, with experience in automotive content, promos, branded content, digital campaigns, short films (Sports and Drama), and broadcast documentaries.
I specialise in working with DaVinci Resolve, and I am well acquainted with Avid, Premiere Pro and FCPX workflows. I can work remotely as well as in-house as I have a good home studio set up with a complete Tangent Element control surface, Top Spec calibrated Dreamcolour and Flanders Scientific DM240 monitors, and the full DVR suite on a Mac Studio M1 Max.
I enjoy the creative process of post-production and seeing a project come together, which is enhanced by my appreciation for photography, producing, and project management.
I am conscientious, reliable and enjoy working collaboratively with Directors and DoPs but I am also happy to take the lead and offer my own creative and stylistic suggestions.
I am a certified Colour Grading Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve end user and a BAFTA Connect Member.
Please don't hesitate to message me if you are interested in collaborating or to discuss a project. Thanks.
