Color Grading
From the earliest stages of your film’s journey, I collaborate closely with Cinematographers and Directors to craft a unique color language that resonates with the essence of your narrative.
From designing and developing the perfect look to creating LUTs for on-set and offline editing, I can guide you through pre-production to post-production providing a smooth workflow carrying through your visual concept.
In a professional grading suite, I fine-tune every frame of your film or video footage, ensuring that your creative vision is not just realized but elevated.
Whether your film is for cinema, TV, Video On Demand productions, an essay film, an art project or web content, whether you’re shooting on film or digitally, your project will emerge looking its absolute best.
And for projects that span across borders, I offer Remote Grading Sessions, ensuring your project receives the attention it deserves, no matter where in the world you are.
Let’s create something extraordinary together and make your story shine in every frame.
Green Film Consulting
As a certified Green Film Consultant working on a freelance basis, I accompany international projects all the way from development to post-production, ensuring sustainability with a range of tailored services.
Individual Production Analysis: I start by getting to know your project inside and out, including a detailed CO2 calculation for every department.
Green Filming Strategy: Together with the production team and department heads, we’ll develop a specific catalog of Green Filming measures that fit your project’s needs.
Implementation: I’ll work with your team throughout all stages of production to ensure these measures are effectively put into action, with clear and consistent communication.
Final CO2 Calculation and Report: At the end of the production, I’ll provide a comprehensive CO2 calculation and a final report summarizing our sustainability efforts.
With my broad experience across various departments, I’m here to offer guidance to help your production achieve its sustainability goals.

Workshops
My teaching portfolio includes a diverse range of courses, from brief workshops to extensive two-month programs.
I offer tailored training sessions for trainees in post-production houses, interactive in-person and online workshops and personalized one-on-one training, both in English and German.
My teaching experience spans multiple institutions around the world, including New York Film Academy, DFFB-Up.GradeShortCourses, MetFilmSchool, Art-On-The-Run Film School, Schnittakademie, and See It-Be It.
I designed the comprehensive two-month Color Grading Course at Schnitt Akademie.
I'm dedicated to helping my students blend technical skills with creative vision, giving them the knowledge and confidence to thrive in the world of color grading. My approach works with any color grading system, so no matter which one you prefer, you'll get a well-rounded and versatile understanding of the craft.
About
I am a freelance senior colorist, green film consultant and hula hoop instructor from Austria.
Over the years I worked internationally on numerous documentaries, features and art films. Many of them were screened at BAFTA- and Oscar-qualifying festivals and were seen worldwide in cinemas, on TV and streaming platforms, including Netflix, Amazon prime, ORF and ARTE.
2012 to 2018 I was in-house colorist in New York City at the post-production boutique House of Trim for branded content and commercial clients including Estée Lauder, GQ and ESPN.
In 2018 I relocated to Europe and began working as a freelance colorist in Germany and Austria, while also working on international projects.
My curiosity has always driven me to explore beyond my primary field of work.
In 2022, this led me to become a certified green film consultant, reflecting my commitment to sustainability in the film industry.
A year later, I expanded my skill set by becoming a certified hula hoop instructor, because movement, like color, is another form of expression.
As a board member of dok.at (the Austrian Documentary Film Alliance), and an active member of the AAC (Austrian Association of Cinematographers), the BVK (German Society of Cinematographers), and the VGFCA (Association of Green Film Consultants Austria) I’m proud to be part of a lively community of filmmakers and storytellers.
