With five years of experience as an independent colourist, Vanessa joined Glassworks in 2023, with a desire to continue creating content that deeply resonates with audiences on an emotional level. Her career in the film industry began as a production assistant, where she quickly developed a fascination for camera work and cinematography. Eager to delve deeper into colour grading, Vanessa honed her skills as a 1st and 2nd AC on set, collaborating closely with DoPs and immersing herself in the complexities of colour science.

Driven by her passion, Vanessa pursued a prestigious Master's programme at the National Film and Television School in the UK, specialising in colour grading. This experience allowed her to refine the skills she developed early in her career and prepare her for a leading role within a creative studio.

Vanessa graded the film “Jellyfish & Lobster,” which won the best British Short Film at the 2024 BAFTA awards. Previously, two of Vanessa's projects, the live-action short film "Gossip" and the captivating animation "The Tornado Outside," were nominated for a Yugo BAFTA Student Award.

Based in Amsterdam, Vanessa is also available for grading projects in London and Barcelona.
