About

Composer/music editor working across short films, pilots, trailers, and 30/60/90s ads, with a picture-first approach (hit points, tempo maps, stem editing) and strong dialogue-aware mixing. Known for fast iteration and using silence/build-drop techniques to shape emotional arcs, plus sound design/SFX work using libraries and custom elements.
