About

I’m Helena, an Estonian sound recordist and designer and I run a video production company. What began as a hobby has turned into a passionate career, but becoming a mother has made me switch gears a little more towards podt production.

Editing and mastering podcasts has been a side hustle for quite a while. Starting from working at Karjääristuudio, where it was my daily bread and butter and finishing with nowadays working for Estonian most know comedy duo Ari Matti Mustonen and Mikael Meema, being a technical producer for their shows, meaning from recording until editing everything is up to me.

To sum it up. From recording sound off the coast of Lisbon in a wet suit to handling TV production sound here in Estonia, I’ve worked on a wide range of projects — recording, booms, editing, and designing. I love every moment of it.
