    This sample showcases an episode from a 34-episode series available on YouTube, TikTok and Instagram, where I oversaw the entire production process.

    uniE608 Hogwarts Legacy | Spell Sound Design
    For this project, I created three unique spell sounds for a Hogwarts Legacy scene using a mix of sound synthesis and Foley processing.

I combined synthesized elements (such as modulated waveforms and granular effects) with processed real-world recordings (like crackling fire, metallic scrapes, and organic textures) to craft immersive, dynamic spell sounds. The final mix ensures clarity, weight, and magical flair, enhancing the gameplay experience while staying true to the Wizarding World's sonic aesthetic. This piece highlights my ability to blend technical sound design with creative world-building, transforming abstract concepts into tangible, cinematic audio.…
