Crew Listing


Description

I'm an experienced Sound Designer and studio mix engineer with over twenty years experience. I worked full-time for various studios in Soho before recently relocating to Norwich as a freelancer. I've predominantly worked in commercials, with recent TV campaigns for big brands such as Samsung, Confused.com and Kelloggs. I've also worked on longform TV shows, promos, short films, music videos, corporate films, animations and much more.
Whereas longform TV work can mean a focus in one particuar area of sound, in ads we do it all! Foley, VO recording, dialogue edit, music editing (and creation) as well as SFX, sound design and mix.
I run a Pro Tools studio with a comprehensive SFX library and can run remote sessions, streaming video when needed. I'm happy mixing to spec for broadcast, online or whatever your deliverables require.


Special Interests

Automotive! I handle all sorts of sound design, from full-on cinematic trailer sound to simple talking heads.However I really love automotive work. My work on Shell 'Cold', McLaren 'Raise your Limits' and Sky Sports F1 2020 'Start of Season' all won Sound awards.
