•What makes me unique in what I do?

I believe what makes me unique is the experience I have from the different jobs I have worked, and also my true passion for video games. For work I have been a supervisor at a movie theater, warehouse worker, delivery helper, cashier, automotive mechanic, and a bartender. Each of those jobs has a different aspect to how work is needed to get done, and interactions with others. They all taught me different lessons and helped me grow in my knowledge of  different peoples worlds and appreciations. For my passion for video games it all boils down to how I love every genre and style. I have played hundreds of different games starting from when I got my first PlayStation console as a kid, to owning almost every console and handheld now. I have extensive knowledge and perception for whatever an employer may need of me.

 

•What is my approach to sound design?

My approach starts with how I can use sound to bring life to a silent world. Video games all have a different visual styles, and I believe they all should have a different sound style too. So matching my creativity to the visuals is a strong starting point, in order to have the same life and feel.

 

•Why do I like sound design?

I love sound design in how it's so important in bringing a sense of life to silent visuals. Pictures can only tell so much, but sound can tell its own story and enhance the experience for the watcher or player. It all creates an immersive experience that nothing else can achieve in the same way.

 

•What started my love for sound ?

My love for sound all started with my passion for video games. I love video games for the immersive experience and escapism the player experiences. For me I can get so lost in the created world of the game, but sound is what draws me in and makes me feel like I am actually a part of that world. I lose a sense of reality and I love how sound is used to do exactly that.
