I have always had a passion for sound. It began with my love for music and composing, which led me to gain hands-on experience in Pro Tools and working within recording studios. This foundation inspired me to pursue a degree in filmmaking at the University of the West of England (UWE), where I spent the past three years specializing in sound design and mixing. The films I created there have led to awards for best student film at festivals, and most notably a nomination for an RTS West Award. As my interest in sound deepened, I expanded my skills beyond traditional audio tools and began working with Wwise, developing a strong understanding of sound propagation, virtual acoustics, and spatial audio rendering. With Wwise, I’ve created immersive audio environments that bring an unparalleled sense of presence to virtual spaces, whether for film or interactive media. I am especially drawn to crafting intricate, layered soundscapes that support storytelling and deepen audience immersion. My background in writing and world-building has strengthened my ability to think narratively as a sound designer, enabling me to anticipate what a scene needs not just technically, but emotionally and atmospherically.
