Oliver Thelwall

Worked across multiplayer PC (Steam) titles, owning sound design, interactive audio implementation, and music production end-to-end. Built reusable Wwise/Unreal systems (including Blueprint audio components and audio replication where designed in from the start), created dynamic weather/time-of-day/in-world ambience systems, and developed dynamic vehicle/NPC/enemy/audio-spell/gunfire setups. Led audio on two 2026 releases, including writing, recording, and producing orchestral music and cutscene audio (music, sound design, Foley, VO, and final mixes). Also supported trailer production (sound design, original music, VO integration/mixing). Prepared and optimized audio for performance by profiling CPU and memory use across Wwise and Unreal Engine.

Supported head office retail leadership with daily operations and coordinated internal travel for staff. Managed bookshops of varying sizes across London, including sole management at smaller branches and larger specialist sections at academic sites. Recruited, trained, and managed teams, ran budgets, planned events with head office and partners, and often operated as part of the management team in a large London store with responsibility for day-to-day operations.

Managed London branches including small shops with a rotating day staff, mid-size stores in Kensington and King’s Road, and a large academic branch with specialist sections. Took responsibility for staffing, budgets, operational planning, recruiting and training, and coordinating events with stakeholders.
