Sound
DESIGNER
I want to help bring meaningful, and otherwise overlooked stories into the limelight.
Untold perspectives must be brought to life alongside rich, evocative soundscapes that are guided by deeper, intellectual narrative themes.
Being born with a physical disability,
I've had to learn how to play to my strengths and focus on investing my time in areas that both inspire and challenge me.
Let me help you create a soundscape that emphasises your projects strengths, and elevates your art into a unique sonic experience.
