I’m an experienced sound designer and engineer from London.

My decade of working in, and studying the field of audio has armed me with a great number of transferable technical and production skills.

I’ve recorded, edited, designed and mixed sound for a wide range of project types, including audiobooks, podcasts, radio, advertising, internal corporate, e-learning, IVR, animation, TV series, film and video games.

I have many years of experience working in a production and post environment, so I have a great understanding of processes and workflows.

I am exceptionally organised (I love a good list!) and I’m used to managing multiple complex projects with (very) strict deadlines. I learn remarkably fast and find it easy to pick up new techniques, systems and work in new environments.

Recent work has leaned heavily towards post-production sound design and I also run workshops to teach producers and engineers about sound design, engineering techniques and audio hardware/software.
