About

Hi! I’m Joseph, a freelance sound editor and sound designer.

I developed my skills working for BBC Sounds, and BBC Local Radio since 2022.

Across my 18 months with BBC Sounds, I produced short sharp news pieces, and long form episodes for our series.

I’m experienced with Adobe Audition, learning it’s mechanics on my way to a First Class degree in Multimedia Journalism.

I’m passionate about audio editing, and sound design, always up to the challenge of piecing audio together to create a smooth, satisfying listening experience.
