I’m Hamish Annand, a Sound Design graduate currently studying at Edinburgh Napier University. I’m based in Aberdeen and enjoy creating immersive sound through practical foley, sound effects recording, and mixing work in a DAW, working comfortably both independently and as part of a team. Alongside my sound-focused projects, I’m reliable, physically fit, and happy to take on hands-on tasks—whether that’s lifting and shifting heavy materials or helping set up events. I’ve built experience through university-hosted collaboration (including a foley recipe book internship) and team sound design for an animation project, and I’m now looking for part-time work that fits around my studies and allows me to contribute during holiday periods too.
