About me

I am a colourist with an extensive knowledge of post-production workflows and processes gained having worked in the creative sector for 18 years and as a colourist 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. ​ 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 DoP’s but I am also happy to take the lead and offer my own creative and stylistic suggestions. I am a certified Colour Grading Blackmagicdesign DaVinci Resolve end user. Please don't hesitate to message me if you are interested in collaborating or to discuss a project. Thanks.
