Sound Designer & Re-Recording Mixer
The mission
I create immersive sound for film, animation and moving picture, with a focus on making stories feel more vivid, emotional and alive.
Alongside my work as a sound designer, I lecture in Sound for Film at the University of Sydney, sharing an approach to sound that is both creative and deeply connected to storytelling.
A little about me
Listening closely,
since the beginning.
