About

Hi, I’m Olya Honcharuk, a LA-based sound designer and composer currently completing my Bachelor of Music at Berklee College of Music. I’m majoring in Electronic Production & Design with a focus on Sound Design for Video Games. I’m passionate about shaping immersive soundscapes that complement storytelling and gameplay.

In my work, I design and implement immersive audio for games and film, build and integrate audio using Unity and Unreal Engine, and guide audio implementation with Wwise. I’ve worked as a lab assistant at Berklee to maintain and optimize equipment, and as a freelance sound designer for short films, focusing on clear, engaging sound from concept through final mix. I’m excited to collaborate with developers and artists to bring imaginative audio experiences to life.
