Who I am

Hello! I'm a game sound designer

who is currently studying Game Production

and Management in Germany. Since I was a child

I was surrounded by video games and music. Those

two things became my fascination very quickly and I

began to produce music for video game scenes in my

freetime at a young age. A huge part of a video game

is its atmosphere. Sounds and music fall into that

category. That's why I'm dedicated to invest all my time

and ressources into getting the most out of a

game's potential. 

My skills

Composing

An important task as a composer is to find out how to bring the game's story to life.

Music has to go hand in hand with art and gameplay to really elevate the player's immersion.

​

Sound Design

Asset creation begins with the understanding of the game's context and figuring out a plan to complement it. After that I gather and record the sounds needed and edit them to round up the process.

​​

Technical Sound Design

As a technical sound designer I find great joy in utilizing middleware like FMOD in order to integrate dynamic and adaptive audio into the game's enginge such as Godot, Unity or Unreal. 

Trailers & Cinematics

In order to enhance the storytelling and emotional impact of the trailer or cinematic I create high quality ambience, sound FX, and music which ensure that the audience will be captivated and intruiged to play the game.

​

Audio Recording

I ​utilize high quality equipment to ensure that the game benefits from unique, clear and polished foley and voice recordings that can be seamlessly integrated into the production.

​​

Mix & Master

At last but certainly not least, I make sure every sound finds its right place in the audio spectrum of the game's soundtrack in the mixing and mastering process ensuring a high quality audio experience.

​

Requirements:
- Produce epic soundtracks and suiting SFX that support the game's atmosphere, setting and lore
- Create dynamic sound system that works well with the game's mechanics
- Implement SFX using Unreal's Metasound-System
