SOUND DESIGN & AUDIO POST-PRODUCTION
SFX, FOLEY, & IMPLEMENTATION
Clear dialogue matters, but sound design is what people feel. It’s the weight of footsteps, the hum under a scene, the detail you don’t consciously notice until it’s missing. From custom foley and atmospheric textures to stylized effects work, I build audio that gives projects texture, atmosphere, and personality.
Fun Fact: If I had to pick the moment I realized sound was magic, I think I’d pick the day I learned Godzilla’s roar was created using a resin glove and a double bass!
Video Game Audio Showreel
A multi-genre videogame sound design showcase featuring custom UI, combat, and environmental audio. The reel includes games produced at UTEP Creative Studios and concludes with a full “Sound Redesign” study for Friday the 13th: The Game—my favorite experiment in the reel. For that final segment, I completely stripped the original game audio and rebuilt the entire soundscape from scratch, using only my own custom foley and sound design to engineer a specific horror aesthetic.
Corporate Motion Graphics & Explainer Audio
This project required a full-pipeline approach. Alongside script development and planning, I handled all audio post-production and final delivery. I edited the voice-over for pacing and clarity, then synced custom sound effects to the animated assets. From timeline to final render, the work highlights my ability to take raw elements—animation, VO, and script—and shape them into a cohesive, professional piece.
AUDIO PRODUCTION & PODCASTS
SOUND IS HALF THE STORY
Sound is the most intimate part of storytelling. Even the most striking visuals fall flat if the audio doesn’t hold up. Whether I’m designing a grounded documentary mix or building a paranormal soundscape, I treat sound as an immersive environment. It’s not just about clear dialogue—it’s about putting the listener in the room.
Weird Tales from El Paso
Role: Creator, Host, Writer, & Lead Sound Designer
Weird Tales from El Paso is Blue Lab Pro’s flagship podcast and a long-running narrative series exploring folklore, history, and paranormal legends from the El Paso borderlands. Built around strong storytelling, expert interviews, immersive sound design, and original scoring, the show is designed to feel cinematic and intimate, like you’re stepping into the story.
It’s a full example of my audio workflow, from research and scripting to sound design, mixing, and release. The podcast has so far been a success, cultivating a dedicated local audience from the El Paso, TX community and stellar reviews across podcast platforms.
