I’m an audio engineer, musician, and sound designer from Berlin, currently based in NYC. I work across genres and throughout every stage of the production process, from composition and performance to recording, mixing, and mastering. My experience spans studio production, live FOH engineering, and post-production for film, including scoring, sound design, and dialogue editing. After 3 years of both studying and practicing sound design, primarily for independent films (student theses), Youtube videos and Vlogs, I’ve decided to double down on my passion to pursue a full-time position in the industry. I bring expert knowledge of Pro Tools, Logic Pro X, and Izotope RX to the table, and I’ve always enjoyed the process of post production, from operating a boom mic to recording & editing VoiceOver sessions and foley. Based on your job ad, I believe I could be a strong match. In addition to my technical background, I’ve worked in press relations for independent music labels Deardogs and Ratskin Records and minored in Creative Writing — experiences that strengthened my communication, organization, and creative direction skills. I’m driven by curiosity, versatility, and a commitment to bringing ambitious creative projects to life. Portfolio: _Website not available. Sign in: https://www.twine.net/signup_
