About

I’m Zhe Zhao, a Boston-based game and interactive media audio professional focused on creating immersive soundscapes through thoughtful music composition and high-quality sound design. I’ve worked across freelance projects, collaborating with producers and directors to ensure the audio supports the creative vision and the emotional goals of each scene or level.

As an audio director and composer, I handle audio post-production end-to-end—editing, mixing, and delivering consistent results while streamlining workflows to improve turnaround times without sacrificing quality. I enjoy clear communication with clients, aligning early on with requirements, and building strong working relationships from kickoff to final delivery.
