Hi! I'm Sara, a music producer and audio engineer with over 7 years of experience focused on album production and post-production for visual media. My journey started hands-on during university and has evolved through ongoing collaborations and personal projects. I specialize in live sound but have a strong focus on studio work and creative sound design. I’ve had the opportunity to work in diverse settings, from concert halls where I designed acoustic treatments, to producing and mixing music for indie artists. I've also provided multilingual vocal recordings and worked on vocal production for Christmas carols featured on a popular YouTube channel. Currently, I engineer live sound for cultural music festivals with a variety of performance styles and technical requirements.
