Dear Hiring Team,
I am writing to express my interest in the Sound Designer position. With over 15 years of experience as a sound designer, composer, motiographer and video post-producer, I have developed a strong ability to create immersive and emotionally engaging audio experiences across television, advertising, digital media, and narrative podcasts.
Throughout my career, I have collaborated with internationally recognized brands such as Heineken, Samsung, Coca-Cola, Camel, Nike, and Shell. I worked as Senior Audio Engineer at Ajá Podcast, part of HYBE Latin America, where I led sound design and post-production for original productions. I specialized in crafting narrative-driven sonic identities, as well as developing custom SFX and foley libraries to create distinctive, story-specific sound worlds.
I have shaped the sonic identity of series such as Transportista, Mentira Histórica: Caso Colosio, Paco Stanley: Bullying, Escándalos y Crimen Organizado, Pal North, and Asesinamente, for platforms including Audible, Wondery, Spotify, and Podimo. I also designed the immersive audio experience El Pareje Maldito for Spotify’s Mexcla Festival, combining narrative storytelling with spatial sound design in a live, site-specific format.
Among the projects that align closely with this role is Pequeños Gigantes, a children’s animated series where I composed the original score and created the sound design. This work focused on building a playful and expressive sonic world to support character identity, timing, and humor—essential elements in animation.
In addition to my sound work, I also have professional experience as a motion designer and video post-producer, which gives me a unique perspective when creating sound for animation. Understanding the language of motion graphics and visual timing allows me to design sound that integrates naturally with animation and enhances the visual rhythm.
My approach combines narrative sensitivity, musicality, and precise sound design to create intros that are dynamic, memorable, and tightly connected to the visual storytelling.
I would love the opportunity to collaborate and contribute to the sonic identity of your animated show.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Best regards,
Gonzalo Messi
