As an Audio Engineer with over 7 years of hands-on experience, I specialize in capturing and shaping high-quality vocal recordings that bring an artist’s vision to life. I work directly with clients both in-person and virtually through Zoom, Discord, and FaceTime, ensuring a smooth and collaborative creative process.

My expertise lies in recording, editing, and enhancing vocals using a variety of digital and analog tools, combined with a deep understanding of sound design and mixing.

My goal is always to deliver polished, professional, and emotionally resonant audio that exceeds client expectations.

As a Graphic Designer, I have always been a creative and client-focused artist with experience serving diverse industries including advertising, publishing, marketing, web development, entertainment, and specialized design services. Skilled at transforming client visions into impactful designs through clear communication, step-by-step project development, and high-quality execution.
