TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF
I’m a sound designer and composer who tells stories through sound. I love experimenting with genres and creating immersive sonic experiences.
HOW DID YOU DISCOVER YOUR CRAFT
Fifteen years ago, I found a digital audio workstation on my brother’s laptop and began experimenting with music. My cousin later introduced me to sound design, opening up a new world of possibilities for me.
WHO IS A SOUND DESIGNER
A sound designer is an architect of sound. We create auditory environments for films, TV, games, and more, ensuring that what you hear complements what you see.

Balancing creativity with technical demands, especially under tight deadlines, is a challenge. It also requires teamwork, highlighting the need for more skilled professionals.
