The Backstory

Spectra was born out of curiosity.

With a degree in audio engineering and a postgraduate degree as a colorist, I have come to appreciate the deep parallels between how we treat sound and how we shape color. EQ curves feel like luma shaping. Modulation effects remind me of hue shifts and spatial diffusion. Color and sound aren’t just similar, they’re synced.

I have been building tools not for the market, but for myself. Tools that make me excited to grade. Tools that spark creativity in the middle of long sessions at Final Stage Post House. And as the collection grows, so has my desire to share.

These DCTLs aren’t quick experiments. They take time, focus, and a whole lot of love. I build them with the same care I give my clients’ films. And while yes, they’re premium tools, they’re priced to reflect that labor and intent.

These are solid, perceptual, analog-informed tools that I genuinely use every day.

I’m honored to share them with the colorist community.

Thanks for being part of it.
