About Tess

I am a colorist for film and advertising, specializing in color grading for documentaries, narrative film, and commercials. My commercial clients include Eddie Bauer, The North Face, Patagonia, Amazon Music, Amazon Sellers, Mod Pizza, and Valve.

I most enjoy getting to work with people one-on-one in a creative brainstorming atmosphere, hosting client sessions in-studio. I have experience in corporate agency settings, having worked for Formosa Group and Clatter&Din in Seattle for five years. I care about client satisfaction, consistent communication, creative results, and technical efficiency, especially color accuracy. I also provide remote client review cycles and real-time remote grading workflows in Davinci Resolve. I am a certified Davinci Resolve user with an Associate's degree in Arts & Science from Bellevue College – along with some Digital Media Arts credits sprinkled in.

My work as a colorist is featured in Eddie Bauer's Documentary "Breathtaking” and Firefighter Documentary “Odd Hours, No Pay, Cool Hat” by Vignette Creative and presented by John Deere.

I'm currently based in Atlanta, GA. Reach out and say hello!
