I’m a sound designer, writer and composer with many years of experience across music, podcasts, radio, film and TV. I’m a trained sound engineer who has worked on both live and studio TV programs, as well as in live sound, mixing and mastering roles. I’ve also written and produced music for TV, radio and theatre, and I’ve run my own studio for over 20 years, handling everything from configuration and repair to modification and maintenance. I’ve even explored app development, which gives me an interdisciplinary view of modern media production. Quality, responsibility and commitment are the keywords that guide my work. I strive for a structured workflow, well-considered decisions and productive, collaborative relationships. I’m driven by the opportunity to blend technical craft with storytelling, and I enjoy collaborating on projects that push the boundaries of sound in media.
