About me

I am a colourist with an extensive knowledge of post production workflows and processes gained having worked in the creative sector for 16 years. I have worked on many short and long form projects for well established clients and companies such as Sony, BBC World, Discovery US, UKTV, RSA films, IRIS Worldwide, GTB, FCB Inferno, Sassy Films, Adjust Your Set, JSR, Be Heard Group and Ichi. I have a natural flair for colour and a sharp eye for detail, with experience in automotive content, promos, branded content, digital campaign, 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, a Top Spec Dreamcolour monitor, a fully calibrated Flanders Scientific DM240 monitor 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 managing. 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.
