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.
