About

I’m Julian Smith—an Audio/Sound Designer, mentor, and designer with 7 years of experience across the performing arts, production design, and technical direction. My work blends sound design, coaching, and stage/production support, and I enjoy shaping experiences from early concepts through final show playback.

I’ve contributed to theatre festivals and productions as a sound designer, assistant, and technical lead, and I also compose and produce music. From roles in major university and theatre settings to hands-on production work, I focus on clear collaboration, strong technical execution, and creative, story-driven sound.
