I am a multidisciplinary audio creator working across cinematic composition, sound design, voice performance, and audio post-production for film and animation. I thrive on storytelling-driven audio where music, dialogue, and sound design operate as a unified emotional system. I specialize in selective scoring for animation and film—placing music only where it amplifies narrative meaning, pacing, or emotional transition.
