I am a multi-instrumentalist, composer, and sound designer whose work can be heard throughout the Canadian and international media landscapes. My journey from musician to recording engineer, post audio engineer, and finally music composer has given me a solid foundation of deep audio knowledge and a wide breadth of experience ranging from small mobile games to stadium sound design. I have become a specialist in music for animation, creating sonic identities for new IP and supporting existing brands such as Caillou, Open Season, and Little People. I thrive in high-level productions with quick turnaround times across various media.
