Natalia Mercado

Hi, I’m Natalia Mercado, a Salvadoran-born colorist based in Mexico City with over a decade of professional color grading experience for film, television, and digital content. I specialize in crafting cohesive visual storytelling through precise color correction, creative grading, and meticulous pipeline management, using DaVinci Resolve and Mistika to deliver vibrant, technically sound results.

In addition to hands-on grading, I share knowledge as an instructor for DaVinci Resolve and color correction courses, mentoring the next generation of colorists at institutions like SAE Institute and the Centro de Capacitación Cinematográfica. I’m fluent in English and Spanish, thrive in collaborative environments, and enjoy helping teams translate narratives into mood and texture.
