You are Here, We are Everywhere

my dark apron

Spy Name:

I'm currently working as a sound effects editor / sound designer for film and in love with every minute of it. I'm also a budding cinephile, with some of my favorite directors being Andrei Tarkovsky, Carl Theodor Dreyer, Park Chan-Wook, The Coen Brothers, and Lars von Trier (the list could go on forever). I love sound, especially within the boundless realms of storytelling. From the most unintelligible crackling gibberish to the smoothest of melodious murmurs, I love it all.

Location:

Los Angeles, CA
