**tl;dr:** Detail-oriented and research-driven composer and musician. I've worked on 10+ video game projects—including several game jam winners—and 2 short films as a composer and sound designer. I’m experienced with advanced audio implementation (using Wwise) and audio programming. Hi, I'm Jess! I'm a composer who specializes in video game and film music. By day, I'm a music theorist, meaning I study how music is constructed and how and why it affects us the way it does. I bring this knowledge into my creative practice; understanding the "how" and "why" of music helps me create purposeful music that meaningfully expresses the themes and emotions that best support your project. I bring a broad range of musical experience to my craft. I'm trained in classical and jazz piano, and I've played with a several different bands, including my current prog rock band. My academic research focuses on video game music, and I've worked on 10+ video game projects—including several game jam winners—and 2 short films as a composer and sound designer. This experience equips me to work in a wide variety of musical styles. I’ve used Wwise for several projects and am comfortable designing non-linear music that responds to what’s happening on-screen. I’m also a programmer and am comfortable doing my own programmatic audio implementation. I’ve worked with Godot, Unity, Bevy/Rust, and Pygame/Python. I'd love to talk more about how I can work with you to bring your project to life!…**tl;dr:** Detail-oriented and research-driven composer and musician.
