About

I am a polymath sound designer and award-winning voice actor with over 30 years of cross-disciplinary experience in theater, dubbing, music composition, and audio post-production. I’ve built immersive sonic worlds, led pioneering dubbing initiatives for video games in Latin America, and mentored the next generation of audio talent.

From founding Voltaic Studios Mexico to collaborating on hundreds of features, series, and AAA games, I craft sonic identities that serve storytelling and emotion. My work blends music, technology, and language, and I continuously explore AI-enhanced workflows to push the boundaries of sound.
