Available to hire
Hi, I’m Paola Perro, a creative and technically driven Sound Designer with 4+ years of experience crafting interactive audio for games, VR, and cinematic content. I’m proficient with FMOD, Wwise, Unity, Unreal Engine, and major DAWs, and I undertook a complete retraining journey from industrial work into game audio. I’m known for building immersive soundscapes, optimizing performance through smart middleware use, and collaborating effectively with cross-disciplinary teams.
I thrive on designing adaptive SFX and precise audio integration that responds to gameplay and player emotion. My strength lies in shaping sonic characters through collaboration with directors and developers, rigorous QA, and a proactive approach to workflow improvements using tools like ClickUp, Trello, and UX mapping with Figma.
