Biography

 

Hello!

I am a sound designer based in Bucharest, Romania, currently specializing in cinematics and technical sound design for AAA games. 

 

My audio journey began at 16 as a video assist technician on film sets. In 2009, I earned a BA in video editing, sound design & animation, and my work can be heard on 40+ films, some of which won internationally-acclaimed prizes at A-list film festivals.


During the pandemic I shifted my focus to game audio and in 2022 started working with LA-based Vicious Sound LLC on AAA productions, taking on different aspects of game audio.

 

I’m currently also pursuing a double MA in Design for New Media and The Art of Film Sound at UNATC Bucharest.
 

 

​​​Past experiences:

 

- Associate Lecturer of Sound Design at the Film University in Bucharest, Romania

- Re-Recording mixing for one of Romania's largest dubbing studios, Fast Production Film SRL.

- Ample experience mixing sound on film sets (over 300 days) as a production sound mixer, boom operator and/or field recordist.

- Sound design, video and audio editing (dialogue, foley, music, sound effects) for a large number of commercial projects, including podcasts, trailers, commercials, TV series, documentaries and award-winning feature films (mostly dramas)
