Sound artist and audio engineer specializing in post-production, sound design, re-recording mixing, dialogue, and foley. My work is rooted in a longtime practice as a classical violinist and deep listener; I bring that musical instinct to my work with precise, thoughtful edits. Often combining musical gestures with found sounds, I’m drawn to the way audio shapes memory and place. I pursue this through deliberate, layered gestures across sound design, mixing, re-recording, and field recording.
