I'm Jordan Motz, a sound designer and production audio professional focused on unconventional, story-driven film sound. I blend styles from classical to experimental to craft rhythms, textures, and emotional landscapes that support character and narrative. I'm currently pursuing hands-on work across student and independent productions, collaborating with mixers, editors, production audio teams, and fellow crew to deliver cohesive post-production sound and on-set audio. I value hands-on creation and deep engagement at every stage of the process, drawing from training at SCAD and experiences across film, live production, and cross-disciplinary practices to inform my approach.
