I’m Oliver Kraus, a creative and technically skilled sound designer with extensive experience in the conception and implementation of audio worlds for radio formats, podcasts, and advertising campaigns. I specialize in individual sound design, composition, voice editing, mixing, and mastering — with a keen sense of tonality, storytelling, and target audience appeal. Since 2005 I’ve been the managing director of ok -sounddesign.de in Munich, handling podcast production, sound design, audio branding, and post-production. From 2018 I’ve worked as an Audio Producer at hauseins podcast label (Munich/Berlin). My career includes long-running OnAir Design at Radio 95.5 Charivari (2002–2024) and hands-on roles as a Sound Engineer for The Walt Disney Company Germany (2018–2022) and Constantin Entertainment (2014–2017). I enjoy moving between concept and execution, delivering precise editing, creative audio design with recognition value, and efficient, structured workflows.
