I firmly believe that designs are meant to evolve once they are brought to life, and that staying attentive to feedback can only be beneficial to the final experience. This is why I make a point of maintaining a critical mindset toward both my own work and that of my colleagues, always respectfully and without ego, in order to encourage reflection and continuous improvement of the project.

For the last 6 years, I had the chance to participate in numerous projects of different scales such as game jams, school projects, and other longer projects (6 months / 1 year). On each of those 20+ projects, I assumed the responsibilities of Sound Design, mostly alone, and Game and level design as part of a team.

From designing sound effects, credible soundscapes, dynamic music integration, and dynamic audio gameplay feedback and mechanics, I’m familiar with every aspect of sound design, from creation to integration in middleware, and finally directly in engine.

Most of the time, those projects were made on Unity and Unreal Engine, using middleware like FMOD to get more control over audio integration and mechanics and tools like Reaper for the designing process.

Lately, I’ve been working on designing credible soundscapes for scenes on Unreal, with a particular focus on localized footstep sounds depending on the material each foot is stepping on, room-based soundscape atmospheres with reverb and audio occlusion.
