As an audio engineer, I have over a decade of experience working in music production and audio post production for video. With my own personal studio, Neon Audio, acoustically treated and outfitted with world class audio gear, I specialize in making any recorded audio sound its best. I also have extensive video editing and animation experience, providing captivating video content for clients such as Reebok, Duke University, and many household pharmaceutical brands. Whatever the project, I pride myself on straightforward and honest communication. Collaboration is a cornerstone of my approach, as I love to see how new ideas are sparked when people are creating together. I also put client satisfaction above personal ego in order to ensure that the project is a success.
