Production help: Mixing, editing, recording & workflow
I specialize in production, including field recording, audio software, mixing, dialogue editing, and sound design. I also enjoy getting into the weeds on production workflow — whether that’s working through a specific production hurdle, integrating a new tool into the production process, or zooming out and talking through broader team strategies.
Let me help you level up your technical abilities and heighten the use of sound in your stories. Together, we can:
  • Strategize for field recording outings.
  • Troubleshoot tricky sound edits or production issues.
  • Help you get more out of your audio editing software.
  • Strengthen your production workflow.
  • Develop a strategy for training your staff in technical skills.
  • And more!
