I didn’t start off in the sound world.
But after years of working on film sets and corporate shoots, I kept noticing that people often overlooked sound when planning projects. After struggling to find sound department crew for my own projects, I decided to jump "headphones-first" into production sound mixing.
As a production sound mixer, I'm committed to capturing clean, high-quality audio that helps elevate any production. Whether it's narrative, corporate, or anything in-between, I will collaborate with you to help make your project sound as good as it looks. As a bonus, my background as an AD and filmmaker allows me to easily stay in sync with the needs of any production.
