About me
Sound designer and composer with 10+ years of experience, including 5 working with international clients. I create narrative-driven audio for video games, animation, short films, and other visual media. My work focuses on designing sound and composing music that shape emotion, identity, and immersion. I combine strong technical craft with a clear sense of how audio drives story.

Game Sound Designer – Indie Puzzle Game

Kinoko Studio • Freelance

Feb 2025 - Dec 202510 mos

Sound designer for Trackastrophe, an indie puzzle game by Kinoko Studio with a retro-cartoon visual identity. My work covers gameplay SFX, UI feedback, ambience, and stylized character effects, all built to match the game's tone and visual language. Most sounds were created from foley and recorded sources, then layered and processed to give each interaction a clear, recognizable signature. The work reflects how I approach game audio more broadly: sound treated as part of the gameplay experience and the game's identity, not as a final layer added on top. This collaboration is part of an ongoing line of independent game projects where I work as sound designer for indie studios across different game styles and formats.
