About

I’m a London-based audio editor and mix engineer with two years of professional post-production experience, working across dialogue, vocals, singing, podcasts, radio, and music. I edit, restore, sync, and mix high-quality audio for a global audience, with a careful approach to versioning, QC, and meeting delivery specs under tight turnarounds.

I’m an expert in Pro Tools and iZotope RX, and I enjoy turning challenging recordings into polished, broadcast-ready results—whether that’s reducing noise, controlling plosives and sibilance, or balancing mixes to loudness targets like LUFS and true peak. I also have strong technical foundations from first-class degrees in music, sound, and technology, plus production and electronic music work through Guildhall and City, University of London.
