About

Hi, I’m Afonso Santos, a sound designer and composer with a passion for immersive audio in film, games, and VR. I edit, design, and mix dialogue, Foley, SFX, and music to help stories come alive. I collaborate closely with directors, animators, and developers to deliver clear, impactful soundscapes.

I’m always learning and experimenting with new tools and techniques—from Izotope RX and Pro Tools to Unity integration and Ableton Live—seeking fresh ways to elevate every project and tell better stories through sound.
