I’m a creative sound designer and audio engineer based in Manchester, combining technical audio engineering with hands-on creativity across sound design, music production, and live DJ work. I’ve built experience delivering high-quality audio for short films, apps, radio content, and live events, from capturing and editing recordings to shaping the final sound atmosphere. I’m comfortable working with directors, producers, and teams both remotely and on-site, following creative direction while solving real production challenges—whether it’s post-production cleanup, audio enhancement, nonlinear editing, or mixing. Alongside studio and engineering work, I also present a weekly radio show and perform DJ sets, bringing a practical, performance-ready approach to every project.
