ABOUT ME
From directing a Sound Art Festival to creating soundwalks, I have led with the belief in my heart that Sound is the Loving Connector between people. The centre of my purpose, is to create empathy through sound and listening.
I am an artist, Creative Director, and creative technologist working at the intersection of sound, art, technology, and community. My practice explores how multi-sensory experiences shape the stories people tell, and how this impacts wider narratives.
My early career started at Berklee where I studied a BMus in composition, after which I became an assistant at Remote Control in LA (Hans Zimmer), working closely with Geoff Zanelli.
After returning to the UK, I completed my MMus at Goldsmiths and continued to work on sound projects and installations, often using Max/MSP and other sound applications as tools, but equally traditional composition, including commissions for the Brighton Festival, Lewisham Council, and the INDEX Festival, Wakefield, De La Warr Pavillion, and the Royal Docks. Currently, I work as Head of Audio and Interactive for sensory branding consultancy Sensory Experiences, with clients such as John Lewis, Bentley Motors, and others.
I was awarded an Arts Council Project grant as the founder and Creative Director of Sono-Electro, a sound art festival in East Sussex. The festival was last led by renowned sound artist Jem Finer (Longplayer).
