Available to hire
I’m Tobias Holzer, a Zurich-based sound designer and producer focused on crafting immersive audio experiences for podcasts, campaigns, and multimedia projects. I enjoy blending technical work (sound design, restoration, mastering) with editorial and creative processes, and I collaborate across disciplines to shape engaging sonic identities. I thrive in multilingual environments and value a practical, design-thinking approach to projects and teams.
My background spans from sound-design and composition to podcast production, cross-media campaigns, and audio restauration, with experience leading training for producers and journalists while shaping audio workflows for large organizations. I bring curiosity, calm under pressure, and a collaborative mindset to every project, from initial briefing to final delivery.
