About Me
I am an audio designer focused on creating sound that serves both narrative and gameplay.
As a child, before I knew anything about game development, I said that I wanted to work at a game studio. I loved the stories, environments, art, and sounds in my early gaming experiences as a player. That passion for games combined with my love of audio eventually led me to becoming a professional in game audio.
While attending a master’s program for film music, I studied game audio from Akash Thakkar and was enthralled by the creative possibilities of game audio. I found a new love for sound design, dialogue design, and audio implementation.
As a freelancer, I’ve worked on the dialogue for High on Life, helped Bungie record audio for motion and performance capture sessions, designed audio for smaller game projects, and contributed to interactive audiobooks released by Novel Effect.
