About Me

Blending a
Musician's Ear
with Cinematic Vision

Two decades of sonic storytelling across Radio, TV & Cinema.

I am a Sound Designer and Re-Recording Mixer dedicated to the art of sonic storytelling. With over 20 years of experience spanning Radio, TV, and Cinema, I specialize in creating immersive environments that breathe life into the visual frame.

My journey began in Radio Drama and music recording, transitioning into feature films and TV series in 2010. I've worked on high-end productions for Netflix, Amazon Prime, Apple TV+, BET+, ALLBLK, VIU, STARZ, and Tubi — treating sound as essential art, not merely a technical process.

Currently based in Greater Vancouver, BC, I hold an Advanced Certificate in Applied Audio from Douglas College (2025) and am a proud member of the Vancouver Post Alliance (VPA). My workflow spans Pro Tools, iZotope RX, Wwise, FMOD, and full Dolby Atmos immersive audio delivery.
