I am a sound designer, foley artist, producer and musician based in Olympia WA. I have a 15+ years of experience with audio production, further informed by 20+ years as a percussionist and 5+ years of experience in architectural acoustics. At the Evergreen State College I studied sound design, graduating with a BA and 2 professional certificate programs in Audio Production & Recording and in Woodworking. I wove these skillsets together into interdisciplinary self-directed study, blending traditional analog recording with digital workflows in music, sound design and Foley while building my own instruments and acoustic treatment for my home studio. My deep focus and dedication to the innovative, highly technical sound design and mixing rigor of genres like drum & bass carries over quite naturally into audio for film, video games and other media. Decades of drumming give me a keen ear, sense of timing, and a tactile approach to my Foley work. Having designed, installed and tested my own custom bass trapping and reflection point treatment, my home studio further enhances my perception of sonic detail and makes me uniquely well equipped in this field for tackling hybrid and remote work.
