Broadcast ready audio, from dialogue editing to immersive features and imaging.
This showreel demonstrates narrative sound design, podcast production and broadcast imaging created independently.
Where voice talent was not available, voice models were directed to realise scripts and explore pacing, dialogue flow and scene building.
The focus throughout is storytelling through sound, shaping atmosphere, character and structure.

Why This Medium
Intimate storytelling. A voice, a moment of silence, a piece of music. Entire worlds created inside the listener’s imagination.
When someone puts on headphones, they invite you directly into their imagination. Sound, silence, rhythm and voice can create entire worlds without a single image.
That’s what continues to fascinate me — the moment where carefully shaped sound stops being technical production and becomes a story the listener can feel. That’s the work I’m drawn to: crafting audio that gives space for imagination, emotion and human connection.
What excites me most is the moment when an idea becomes an atmosphere. A piece of dialogue, a fragment of music, a carefully placed sound effect — and suddenly a whole world begins to exist in the listener’s mind. That process of shaping sound, responding to a brief, collaborating with teams and bringing ideas to life for an audience is what keeps drawing me back to audio storytelling — especially when the story being told helps people see, feel or understand something differently.

Music production, live performance and studio craft shaping an instinct for storytelling through sound.
Trained ear. Emotional intelligence. Two decades working across music, film and production environments.
I began my career in music production and performance, working in studios, rehearsal rooms and live environments where listening closely was essential. Those years trained my ear to recognise how rhythm carries emotion and how subtle sonic details shape the way audiences experience a moment.
I have worked in creative environments alongside producers including Hans Zimmer and Trevor Horn, contributing as part of the wider production team bringing ambitious projects to life. Those environments set a standard for craft, collaboration and attention to detail that continues to inform my work.
Alongside this creative work, leading large scale IT infrastructure projects developed another set of production skills. Complex systems, like complex productions, depend on clear process, strong communication and the ability to remain calm when pressure rises.
Today I bring those instincts into radio, podcast and broadcast production. Compelling audio is not only technically precise. It has rhythm, structure and emotional weight.
It creates images in the listener’s mind.
The theatre of the mind.
From brief to broadcast-ready audio.
Every project starts with understanding the brief, the audience and the story being told. I work with producers and presenters to clarify what the programme needs to say and how sound can support that. Editorial work has included reviewing youth-produced podcasts (ages 14–18) for a BBC Children in Need funded project delivered by Gaydio, ensuring content met Ofcom broadcast standards and safeguarding guidelines.
Briefing · StrategyWriting for audio means clarity and pace. I script links, craft introductions and shape narration so ideas land cleanly and the listener always knows where they are in the story. The aim is not to fill space with words, but to guide the audience through the programme with language that feels natural, conversational and true to the presenter’s voice.
Scripting · Creative DirectionRecording is where the programme takes shape. Interviews, voice tracks and performances are captured with attention to clarity, tone and atmosphere. I then build the sound of the piece through dialogue editing, music, ambience and radio imaging, shaping the emotional rhythm of the story so the listener stays with it.
Recording · Sound Design · ImagingCraft becomes invisible here. Dialogue, music, and atmosphere are balanced until nothing calls attention to itself — and everything works.
Mixing · Dialogue Edit · Audio PostEvery programme gets a full editorial and technical listen before delivery. Dialogue clarity, pacing, loudness and compliance are checked so the story lands cleanly and meets broadcast standards.
Editorial Listen · QC · Loudness ComplianceBroadcast-ready files in the format you need, when you need them. No chasing. No revisions. Just done — and done right.
