About

I’m a freelance audio producer, sound designer and mix engineer based in London. My pronouns are he/him. I work across radio, podcasting and video.

I’ve been lucky to work with people like BBC Sounds, BBC Radio 3, BBC Radio 4, BBC Radio 5 Live, VICE, Dementia UK, Tate, The Times, Chanel, The Barbican, The Allusionist, Ryanair, Scottee and Doc Society.

As an audio producer, I’m used to taking projects from start to finish, which means I can work on every stage of the process – from idea development to recording, editing, scripting, sound design and mixing. I do this for projects ranging from one-on-one conversation podcasts through to complex, sound rich audio documentaries.

What I’m doing right now…

In general these days, I am mostly looking for mixing and/or sound design gigs. I work in Reaper (but it’s ok if you don’t) and would love to help you make your project sound beautiful. My background is in audio production and storytelling where the sound really matters, and I bring that experience and sensibility to my mixes and sound design. So please get in touch if you’d like to work with me in that capacity.

My background is in radio and podcasting, but lately I’ve expanded my sound design and mixing work into video and film projects. So I’d love to hear from you if you’re cooking something up in that world.

A few examples of things I’ve made…

My interests

I like working on things that feel meaningful in some way – maybe because they’re fascinating or joyous, or they help us understand the world better, or they’re connected to the arts or culture sectors. I love doing queer stories, and I’m a trans person myself so that’s something I have a particular interest in. I am also very into helping other people learn how to make their own audio projects, and I’d like to work on more projects where I can do teaching, mentoring and that sort of thing.

I get especially excited by audio made by people who don’t normally get listened to, people doing creative things in a DIY way, and people using the medium to explore the ways they’re being marginalised by society (plus how they use audio to push back against that marginalisation).

Ideally I want to work on projects that make the world better somehow. I think that can mean lots of different things, but we all kind of know it when we see it.

In my spare time, I am part of the organising team for Multitrack and I am also on the board of trustees. Multitrack is a charity that works to provide substantial opportunities for emerging producers, while also pushing production companies (and the wider industry) to address issues of accessibility and inclusivity within radio and podcasting.

The main thing we do at the moment is run an audio producer fellowship aimed at supporting emerging producers from underrepresented backgrounds to get a break into the radio and podcasting industry.

The fellowship provides paid placements at independent production companies, a networking and training programme, and opportunities (and support) to pitch for commissions with platforms like the BBC.
