Color Grading

What makes me unique as a creative professional is my obsession with storytelling through color. I don’t just color grade for aesthetics—I grade to enhance emotion, direct the viewer’s eye, and deepen narrative impact. I see each frame as a painting and every scene as a journey that color can guide. Whether it's evoking tension through cold palettes or crafting nostalgia with soft highlights and halation, I bring intention to every hue and shadow.

I taught myself the art of color grading by reverse-engineering the work of top colorists like David Cole, Tom Poole, and Stephen Nakamura. I’d spend hours breaking down cinematic looks shot-by-shot, and rebuilding them inside DaVinci Resolve—without LUTs—learning not just how to do it, but why it worked. Over time, I developed a deep understanding of color science, node-based workflows, and cinematic color theory. My recent milestone was building a color-managed pipeline using DWG/Rec709 with custom film emulation that accurately mimics Kodak Vision3 tones—something most beginner colorists struggle to control.

But beyond technical skill, what drives me is passion. I genuinely love collaborating with directors, DPs, and editors to find the emotional truth in every project. I approach color not as a filter, but as a language. I thrive in problem-solving under pressure, translating log footage into emotionally resonant, deliverable-ready final grades—whether it's for narrative film, music videos, or branded content.

What sets me apart is that I bring both artistry and accuracy to the table. I can analyze footage with scopes like a technician and shape it like a painter. I work fast, I’m fluent in color management, and I’m always learning—from references, from failures, and from every frame I touch.

If you’re looking for someone who can not only make your footage look good but feel right, I can help where others can’t.
