I am a music composer, sound designer, and audio director with over 20 years’experience creating immersive audio for film, television, games, and digital media. I have contributed directly to more than 200 shipped titles, including high-profile franchises, managing the audio process from concept through to final mix.

I specialise in developing distinctive audio concepts and strong sonic identities, whether working independently or collaboratively with producers, designers, artists, and developers across in-person or remote workflows. With a Master’s degree in Music, I offer a keen ear for detail, a focus on audience or player experience, and the ability to
deliver polished, high-quality soundtracks at scale and under tight deadlines.
