🎧 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.

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.

I’ve spent 15 years in the game audio world. Most recently, I was Audio Deisgner at Halfbrick for 6 years. I didn't just write music for Fruit Ninja or Jetpack Joyride. I handled the messy stuff too. I wrote the scripts, directed actors, and built the logic inside Unity and Wwise so the sound actually works when you play. I'm comfortable inside Unity. I don't just hand off files and walk away. I build the systems so they don't break. Basically, I make sure the audio is clean and the memory isn't spiking. I've also shipped over 1000 tracks for big brands like Porsche and Yamaha. I move fast and I stay focused on the project needs. If you want someone who can handle the technical and the creative side at the same time, I'm your guy. I'll jump right into your pipeline and get it done.
