I’m a Senior Colourist, specialized in advertising and narrative filmmaking. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with a diverse range of high-profile brands across sports, fashion, and beauty. While my initial focus was broader, covering audio, VFX, compositing, and editing, I now concentrate solely on colour grading, using my multi-disciplinary background to enrich my approach. I love using colour grading to bring stories, emotions, and creative visions to life.
“With a unique blend of technical expertise and creative insight, my work is all about crafting looks that captivate audiences.”
My journey into filmmaking began with broadcast radio, production, and live sport. While studying a Bachelor of Media at the University of Adelaide, I explored further the connections between technology and creativity. My professional career took off at boutique post-production houses like KOJO in Australia, where I discovered just how deep these connections run. I began working as a Machine Room Technician where I gained hands-on experience with camera formats, data pipelines, and offline-online workflows. Progressing through Editorial Assistant to DI Assistant and later Online Editor, I found myself drawn to the artistry of colour and its power to shape visual stories.
In 2017, I took a defining step in my career by joining the UP.GRADE program in Berlin. This immersive experience offered the perfect opportunity to deepen my knowledge of colour theory from masters like Itten, Goethe, and Werner, while introducing cutting-edge research in colour space modeling and modern grading practices. I was fortunate to learn from leading engineers like Harald Brendel, Director of Image Science - ARRI, scientists like Andrew Stockman - University College London, mathematicians like Charles Poynton, and world-class colourists such as Dirk Meier, Laurens Orij and Adam Inglis, whose expertise pushed my skills to new levels.
Today, I specialize in building robust, versatile looks tailored for use during production and final grading, drawing from a wide range of art forms, from painting and photography to cinema. I want to continue telling visually unique, emotionally complex stories from diverse perspectives. If you’re seeking innovative, boundary-pushing visual styles then lets explore and enhance together.
When I’m not in the grading studio, you can find me amongst the vibrant Berlin community. Whether it’s through weekly running clubs, neighborhood meetups, intimate dinner parties with friends or enjoying the Berlin culture scene - I love seeing people together with all the energy that fuels creativity in this amazing city.
