Understanding how our minds work always appealed to me. I got a B.A. in Psychology, then fawned over surrealism and horror in games and films alike. After a dream where David Lynch and I were best friends, I decided to enroll in film and game audio courses. When I learned sound design for them, I found my passion for recording in the studio and outdoors.

 

Recording birds and frogs reignited my love for wildlife, so I became compelled to protect it. I started volunteering for the IGDA Climate SIG, where I learned how critical encouraging empathy for pro-social behavior is in games that drive change. Since then, I’ve educated myself on green game design and made sound libraries for EarthPercent to make an impact.

​

Games that are impact-driven and explore psychological themes offer players catharsis and a better understanding of themselves, but only when there is strong audio to back them up. You can hear my work in Airborne Empire, Twinkleby, Letterhead, and Tearoom of Terror. I've also given several talks and helped with a Green Game Prototyping Workshop at GDC.

 

Let's set up a live chat so I can learn more about your distinct needs and the project. We can also discuss birds or Hellblade!
