About

Hi, I’m Grant Johnson. I’m a dedicated sound designer for games with a strong background in game design and programming, plus proven experience in music production and audio engineering. I love tackling challenging audio problems and collaborating with developers to create immersive, high-quality experiences. Outside work, I enjoy rock climbing, songwriting, electronics, and cooking, with a passion for organization and problem solving.

I’ve worked on multiple projects and freelance gigs, designed audio systems, and mentored others in game jams. I’m always eager to learn, iterate, and push the boundaries of how sound enhances gameplay.
