I’m Ismael Mansilla, a Sound Designer and Sound Engineer with over six years of experience working across sound design, audio post-production and music production for brands and audiovisual projects. My work combines technical precision with a creative approach to sound, with experience developing sonic environments, editing and mixing audio, and working closely with clients and creative teams throughout the production process. I currently run Auden, my independent sound design and music direction studio, where I work with brands and audiovisual projects from the initial creative concept through to final delivery. I also create original music from scratch, from composition and sound design to final production and mix. I’m particularly interested in sound-to-picture work, creating detailed SFX, foley and atmospheric soundscapes that complement and enhance what is happening on screen. I’m comfortable working remotely, taking direction and feedback, and delivering organized, high-quality audio. My international experience and work with clients from different cultural backgrounds have also helped me develop strong communication skills and a flexible approach to creative collaboration.

Industry Experience

Media & Entertainment, Professional Services
    Richard Mille × McLaren — Sound Design & Original Music Concept
    An independent audiovisual concept created for Richard Mille in collaboration with McLaren. I created the entire sound design from scratch, carefully designing and layering SFX to enhance the movement, speed and mechanical character of the visuals. I also composed and produced the original music specifically for the piece, combining it with the sound effects to create a cohesive, immersive and dynamic sonic experience. Every audio element was designed and produced by me, from the music and atmospheric layers to the individual sound effects and final mix.
    SFX & Sound Design for Moving Image
    A sound design project where I worked with several videos featuring dynamic, moving situations and created a distinctive SFX atmosphere for each one. I carefully selected, edited and layered different sound elements to follow the movement and action on screen, transforming each video into a complete and immersive sonic environment. Each scene was given its own personal sound identity, with a strong focus on synchronization, detail and atmosphere.
    Auden. Sonic Identity & Sound Design
    A sonic identity piece created for the launch and presentation of Auden, my independent sound design and music direction studio. The video combines footage from a variety of environments and situations, each enhanced with carefully designed SFX to create distinctive atmospheres and a strong connection between sound and image. I composed and produced the original music specifically for the piece, integrating it with the sound design to create a cohesive audiovisual experience that represents Auden’s approach to sound.
    Extreme Sports — Sound Design, SFX & Original Music
    An audiovisual sound design project focused on extreme and high-intensity sports. I created the complete sonic experience from scratch, combining detailed SFX, dynamic sound design and original music composed and produced specifically for the piece. The sound design follows the energy, speed and physicality of each scene, using impactful effects and atmospheric layers to enhance the intensity of the visuals and create an immersive experience. All sound elements, including the music, SFX and final mix, were created and produced by me.
    Travel Commercial — Music & Sound Design
    A complete audio production for a travel advertising spot. I composed the original music, designed and produced the sound effects, mixed all audio elements, and handled the final mastering. The goal was to create an immersive and dynamic soundscape that enhances the visuals and captures the feeling of travel, discovery, and adventure.
    Bandit — Sound Design & Audio Post-Production
    Sound design and audio post-production for a racing event organized by Bandit in May 2026. Working under the direction of a Creative Director, I followed a defined creative brief and executed the required sound design with a focus on accurately translating the established creative vision into sound. My work included editing and post-production, adding and synchronizing SFX, EQ and audio processing, as well as the final mix and mastering. The project required close attention to detail, technical precision and consistency throughout the final audiovisual piece.
