I’m a sound designer and BA graduate specializing in audio post-production for film, video, YouTube content, and podcasts. My main strengths are sound editing, foley, dialogue clean-up, ambience creation, and layered sound effects design. I focus on building immersive, believable soundscapes that enhance storytelling, emotion, and clarity. I’ve worked on multiple student films and YouTube projects, developing a strong sense for pacing, detail, and narrative flow through sound. If you need a detail-oriented sound designer to bring depth and atmosphere to your project, I’d be glad to help.

🎧 Hi, I’m Bartłomiej - a sound designer specializing in sound effects creation and audio post-production. For me, sound design is a craft. With every project, I aim to deliver the highest quality possible and create immersive, emotionally engaging audio experiences. I especially enjoy working on games - creating immersive soundscapes, impactful SFX, and atmospheric audio that enhance gameplay and bring virtual worlds to life. I’m constantly exploring new ways to design sound. I often record my own material to create unique and authentic effects, but when deadlines are tight, I also work with professional sound libraries such as Soundly. Besides sound design, I also work with music editing and selection. While I’m not a composer, I act more as a music curator - choosing the right tracks for each scene and blending different musical pieces to create emotion, smooth transitions, and a cohesive atmosphere. I work primarily in REAPER, Bitwig Studio, Pro Tools, and Ableton Live, which allows me to adapt my workflow to different types of projects and production pipelines.
