I’m a sound designer, mix engineer and artist. My work explores how sound is used to create social and political meaning. I’m fascinated by the interaction between sound and storytelling; how sound can build immersive worlds and create space for reflection and critical thinking.

I’ve sound designed and mix engineered podcast series for Audible, ESPN, the Guardian, Radiotopia, TED and Wondery, among others. I’ve also worked as a producer, co-creating and executive producing Bad Taste for SBS, and producing documentaries for the BBC, ABC RN, NPR, CBC and KCRW.

My passion for working with sound, listening and creating community led me to create the sound art collective Constellations, which curates a podcast, live events and community listening.
