Sound Designer and Audio Engineer specializing in narrative-driven audio for film, visual media, and live production. With 3+ years of experience, I create immersive sound design, custom soundscapes, and polished mixes that elevate storytelling, pacing, and emotional impact. I have hands-on experience rebuilding audio from production footage, shaping layered sound design for dialogue clarity, spatial depth, and cinematic balance. My work spans post-production and live environments, including audio cleanup, mixing, and real-time problem-solving under tight deadlines. I’m proficient in Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Ableton, and modern audio workflows, and I collaborate effectively with directors, artists, and production teams to execute creative visions at a high level. As a composer and multimedia artist (LivInGroove), I blend electronic and acoustic elements, improvisation and composition, to create experimental electroacoustic work. My background in violin and music production informs a distinct approach to sound—merging technical precision with expressive, story-driven design. My work often explores the intersection of familiar and otherworldly sound, using layered textures and sonic storytelling to create immersive, emotionally resonant experiences. Core Services: Film Composer • Sound Designer • Music Producer • Audio Engineer
