Available to hire
Hi, I’m Stuart Ross. I’m a dedicated audio developer with 30 years of AAA game experience across all genres. I’ve led audio teams, designed immersive soundscapes, and composed music and sound effects that help define game worlds, especially in racing titles. I’m passionate about combining creative writing with technical prowess to deliver memorable sonic experiences.
From Codemasters to Rockstar North and Real Time Worlds, I love tackling creative and technical challenges—from vehicle audio to ambience and soundtrack design. Off the clock, you’ll find me freelancing on TV adverts, remixes, live gigs, or DJing, always keeping busy and pushing the art of sound forward.
