I help filmmakers, brands, and content creators bring their projects to life through original music, sound design, and polished, release ready audio. Instead of hiring multiple freelancers for composition, sound design, editing, and mixing, I handle the full audio side of your project ensuring the audio for your project is cohesive and high quality. I spend most of my time creating custom music, immersive sound design, and producing clean, well balanced mixes for film, branded content, podcasts, and digital platforms. Whether it’s shaping the emotional tone of a scene or getting dialogue to sit right, the goal is always about making sure your content feels just right. My work includes: • Original music tailored to your story, tone, and audience • Sound design for film, branded content, podcasts, and online media • Audio editing, mixing, and post-production • Dialogue clean-up and enhancement • Sonic branding (idents, stings, audio logos) • Atmospheres, textures, and detailed soundscapes • Final mixes for web, streaming, and social platforms I’m Top Rated on Upwork and have worked with clients worldwide across everything from online content to high end productions. I’m used to tight deadlines, evolving briefs, and keeping things running smoothly from start to finish. Clients tend to come back because I’m reliable, easy to work with, and I care about the details making sure the final result doesn’t just work, but actually elevates the piece. If you’re looking for someone to take care of the full audio side of your project, feel free to reach out. I’d love to hear what you’re working on.

I help developers and content creators ship clean, production-ready audio — from interactive game SFX to noise-free dialogue ready for release. In game audio, I design and implement SFX, ambience, and cinematic sound assets that support gameplay, pacing, and emotion. I’m fluent in interactive audio logic and pipeline conventions, so the sounds I deliver aren’t just expressive — they behave correctly when triggered, blended, and modulated in your engine. On the post-production side, I specialize in dialogue restoration, noise cleanup, and broadcast-ready editing, using industry-standard tools and workflows to produce clean, level-consistent audio that’s ready for clients, players, or listeners. Here’s how I help projects succeed: Game Audio & Implementation • Sound design and layering for SFX, ambience, and cinematic cues • Interactive audio logic — parameters, switches, RTPCs, and blend states • Implementation support for engines and middleware • Organized, production-ready assets with consistent naming and specs Dialogue & Restoration • Noise reduction and cleanup (hiss, hum, clicks, room tone) • Spectral repair and RX-grade restoration • Volume leveling, de-essing, plosive reduction • Delivery-ready files (clean stems, loudness-consistent masters, metadata)

I’m a sound designer, composer, and audio producer with several years of experience working across game audio, interactive media, and sound design. My focus is on creating audio that supports immersion, clarity, and emotional impact — whether that’s through music, UI and feedback sounds, ambience, or interactive systems. I work primarily in Ableton Live, alongside Reaper and Logic Pro, and approach each DAW as a practical creative tool rather than a fixed workflow. My work often involves synthesis, sampling, and detailed sound shaping to build cohesive sound palettes that feel intentional and context-aware, rather than overdesigned. In post-production, I handle audio cleanup, dialogue repair, mixing, and creative processing with a strong emphasis on clarity, warmth, and low-fatigue listening — especially for long-form or repeat-use content. I also have hands-on experience with game audio implementation, working with Unity and FMOD to design and integrate interactive audio systems, adaptive music, and event-driven sound. I’m comfortable iterating audio in-engine and collaborating closely with designers and developers to ensure sound supports gameplay systems and player feedback. Alongside my production work, I’ve previously worked as a music production teacher at numerous colleges across the UK, which has shaped how I communicate ideas and break down complex concepts clearly and practically. Whether I’m collaborating with a team or working 1:1 with clients, my approach is focused, supportive, and solutions-oriented. I enjoy projects where sound is treated as a core part of the experience — not just decoration — and where attention to detail, restraint, and consistency really matter.
