I am a music composer, sound designer, and video game developer with over 5 years of professional experience in the indie space. My current projects are Nekomancer of Nowhere (music composer, sound designer, Unity C# audio implementation) and Wish Creatures (director, lead GML programmer, music composer, sound designer). My music can be heard in a bunch of other games too! Some highlights are the Kickstarter success "Vivid Spirit," Skyboy Games' NES project "Even Goblins Fall in Love, and the atmospheric "Circadian," winner of Best Mobile Game at the Swedish Game Awards 2023. Music and sound design as a whole are an oft understated part of games, but high quality composition and adaptive implementation can elevate the mood and feedback that only video games can provide. My goal is to make game soundscapes that push the boundaries of what's capable with games and storytelling!!! I'm always willing to chat (yap) about how game audio is implemented, so please don't hesitate to say hi and share what you're working on!…
