My name is Josh Simon. I am an audio engineer, sound designer and artist based out of Toronto. I am currently enrolled in a game design program with the goal of learning how to program game audio and music. My audio experience is varied. I grew up playing classical piano until the age of 16 where I transitioned to playing keyboard in rock bands. In my early 20s, I became an audio engineer, working mostly in pop music, while improving my sound design and cinematic music (film / games) independantly. Now, I have become a student again, in game design and development, to further increase my skillset and audio adjacent abilities. I love all things audio, whether it be music or FX. I excel in teamwork based environments, love working with creative talent, and take pride in supporting other peoples vision through audio. I put the artistic vision of the collective above all else, and in this era of AI, I believe that is even more crucial to the creative process than ever before. I think I would be a valuable addition to your team. Thank you for your time and consideration.
