About

Hi, I’m Declan Keating, a Michigan State University Digital Storytelling graduate with a great love for sound, art, and everything in between. I’ve spent six years training and practicing across various audio and multimedia fields, dedicated to providing memorable and professional experiences through the lens of sound. I’m passionate about designing immersive audio for live events, games, and media, and I enjoy collaborating with artists, producers, and venues to bring ideas to life.

I’ve worked as an audio designer and live sound engineer in Michigan and Chicago, designing audio for game development studios, recording live broadcasts, and providing audio/lighting support for events. I’m eager to continue creating immersive audio experiences and collaborating with artists and venues.
