What I do

From dialogue to final mix

Sound Design

I build soundscapes, atmospheres and textures that stir sensations, create tension and open new narrative perspectives. From cinema to exhibitions, from series to experimental sound pieces, I explore sound as space, language and a way of telling stories.

Re-recording Mixer

Final mixes for cinema and streaming. Mixing is about exploring possibilities, balancing intentions and finding new ways to tell stories. After all, a mix is never truly finished; there comes a moment when we have to let it go.

Sound Supervision

With the support of technology and creative experimentation, I turn the mix stage into a space of deep immersion, where sound, silence and perspective meet to expand the narrative experience.

Music

Music editing and mixing. I split my passion between music and film, exploring the particularities of each sonic language to reveal each work's identity and expand its creative possibilities. No wonder I've built a substantial body of music documentaries.
