About

I am an international, award-winning composer with an MA in Professional Media Composition, specializing in scoring music for visual media. My work spans short films, features, and library albums, including collaborations with major publishers such as Warner Music. I write with depth, realism, and authenticity, and I enjoy exploring sound design as a storytelling tool.

As a freelance composer and sound designer, I focus on crafting musical worlds that support visual narratives. I regularly attend industry workshops to stay up-to-date with practice and technology, and I currently coordinate Arts Award Training for Trinity College London, building networks of practitioners and contributing to developing online training platforms.
