About Me
I have always had a strong love of film and music; I can talk for hours about the latest films that are releasing or name a song from most genres of music. This love of both subject matters naturally sparked my interest and passion for scores. The way that the music, alongside the moving image, can evoke emotions and feelings in the watcher/listener intrigues me and makes me want to be able to strive for that level of effect within the music I create. When developing a music piece, sound design or editing audio, I enjoy the level of experimentation you can have by pushing the genre boundaries, implementing new methods and being open minded, discovering production techniques. I enjoy taking on the challenge and the problem solving that comes with this. I have been able to integrate these soft skills into my working life. I have strong networking skills and I can find a common spark of interest with every person I meet. I am confident, charismatic, have good communication and I am always willing to take on a new challenge and acquire new knowledge.
