I'm a seasoned Sound Designer and Audio Mixer with 15+ years' experience delivering broadcast-quality mixes for BBC News, BBC News World Service and BBC News GNL, including podcasts for BBC Sounds. I specialize in tool-driven post-production, dialogue repair, EQ balance, compression, and mastering for broadcast and digital platforms, and I excel at shaping Foley, ambience, and creative soundscapes to support storytelling. Fast, detail-focused, and highly collaborative, I work well in remote setups and can take a project from rough edit to final master under tight deadlines. I'm excited to bring my advanced Pro Tools, Reaper, and Izotope workflows to a new podcast or broadcast project and to continue collaborating with producers and editors to deliver consistently clear, engaging audio that meets stringent loudness standards.
