I am an experienced sound designer and audio engineer with extensive skills in sound design, engineering, music production, composition, arrangement, editing, and mastering. I aim to leverage my technical and creative expertise to help deliver the best and most compelling audio results possible. Throughout my career, I have supported recording studios with tasks including media management, audio restoration, and client relations, always striving to assist artists, producers, and managers effectively. I bring a combination of hands-on production skills, deep knowledge of various music software, and a passion for creative sound work to any project. I also have a strong background in music composition and instrumentation as a drummer and keyboardist, along with a collector’s appreciation for rare records. With proficiency in industry-standard tools like Reason and Logic, and everyday software such as Microsoft Office, I bridge creative expression with precise technical handling for audio and music projects. My education in management and administration complements my practical experience, enabling me to contribute both creatively and organizationally within a studio environment.
