About

Most colorists are one insight away from everything clicking. I was there too. I've spent 15 years grading for Prime Video, Universal, Nike, and Disney. Not to flex, but because that real-world experience is exactly what I bring back to you every week. No theory. Just what actually works, and more importantly, why it works. Thanks for stopping by. 🤗
