I have always had a strong love of music , film and gaming; I can talk for hours about the latest films that are releasing or name a song from most genres of music. This love of these subject matters naturally sparked my interest and passion for scores and the hyper realism in foley and sound design that really grounds the audience in the world that is being created for the screen and game. The way that audio, alongside the mediums, can evoke emotions and feelings in the audience intrigues me and makes me want to be able to strive for that level of effect when working with sound. When developing a music piece, sound design or editing audio, I enjoy the level of experimentation you can have by pushing the genre boundaries, implementing new methods and being open minded when discovering production techniques. I enjoy taking on the challenge and the problem solving that comes with this. I have been able to integrate these soft skills into my working life. I have strong networking skills and I can find a common spark of interest with every person I meet. I am confident, charismatic, have good communication and I am always willing to take on a new challenge and acquire new knowledge.

    My most recent composition project was for the University of Arts London, Research Project in association with Copper Candle and funded by XR Network. The project is looking at how gaming can be used as a school revision tool and how Hair, Makeup and Prosthetics artists can enhance the design and transfer those skills to a digital platform. https://on.soundcloud.com/2HDmpYDqhDC5Qt516
