Here are some short sound design explorations and ideas.

About

I am a Junior Audio Designer at Junkfish. I live in London, and have an MSc in Sound and Music for Film and Games from the University of Hertfordshire (Distinction). I am a hardworking and talented individual who creates high-quality audio assets to enhance game narrative, player experience and immersion. I love meeting new people in the industry and am further developing my skills by practicing redesigns and learning middleware. I love working for a studio that has a good culture and supports women and underrepresented groups in games.

I love fantasy and sci fi and grew up reading The Hobbit and watching Star Wars with my dad (nerd alert!). My first game addiction was Pokemon Blue and I remember very clearly crying when a boy stole my Raichu card in primary school (what a meanie!). These days when I’m not doing game audio or playing games, I love practicing yoga as it turns me into a very zen human. I also love playing irl card games such as Netrunner (https://netrunnerdb.com/) and you should play it because it’s awesome.

Mandala Sounds is an interactive music therapy app. It is based on the four elements: earth, water, fire and air and is a space where you can go to relax and meditate. This project involved: 2D/3D audio implementation, including foley footstep system, non-linear composition, dialogue and mixer snapshots, and field recording.

Recording

I have the essential tools to capture the sounds you need.
