I work across genres and pipelines — from major network series to indie features — always with a commitment to craft, clarity, and collaboration.
I’m a Los Angeles-based colorist and finishing artist with more than 15 years of experience spanning across film, television, and a variety of branded content. My work combines technical precision with artistic intuition, skillfully shaping visual tone through the effective use of color, contrast, and rhythm. With a degree in Cinema and Television Arts from Cal State Northridge, I have dedicated my career to helping stories achieve their fullest and most vibrant visual expression. Whether I am working on a high-budget streaming series or an independent film, I bring a deep sense of care, clarity, and cinematic soul to every single frame. I currently operate out of Revolution Post in Burbank, where I have had the opportunity to contribute to numerous projects for major platforms such as Netflix, Hulu, Fox, Roku, and Discovery — always with the same unwavering goal: to serve the story and elevate the image to its highest potential.
