Sound design isn’t just about adding effects, it’s about clarity, balance, and intention. Below is a before-and-after example demonstrating how raw or incomplete audio is transformed into a finished, story-ready mix.

Sound design decisions are made with the story as the guiding priority, ensuring that every element serves the narrative rather than distracting from it. The goal is to support performances, not to mask or overpower them, by enhancing clarity, emotion, and intention in a way that feels natural and purposeful. Collaboration is central to the process, with close communication alongside directors and actors to ensure creative alignment at every stage. Workflows are designed to be clean, efficient, and repeatable, allowing for consistency across projects while maintaining flexibility when creative needs evolve.
Depending on the needs of the project, I can deliver either finished video files (MP4) or audio files (MP3 or WAV), with all audio produced to industry standards (48,000 kHz, 24-bit mono). I work with a range of professional tools, including Audacity, Studio One, and DaVinci Resolve.
As part of my workflow, I typically provide a rough cut early in the process to ensure the sound design aligns with the creative vision. This version features preliminary sound and pacing rather than final polish, allowing for feedback and revisions to happen early, before committing to a full final pass or major redesign.
Sound design is frequently more accessible than many creators expect. For smaller independent projects, rates may begin at $50 per finished minute (PFM). Due to each project's unique creative and technical considerations, I determine pricing on a per-project basis rather than a fixed PFM rate. This ensures the scope, complexity, and production needs are properly accounted for. Full payment is required before production begins.

The collaborative nature of the process was the highlight. Jim took the lead on coordinating with secondary talent and was incredibly receptive to any adjustments needed for the project to meet the intended vision. His ability to pivot based on specific creative notes made the production move smoothly.

Sound design is often more affordable than people expect. For smaller independent projects, rates can start as low as $50 per finished minute (PFM). Because every project has unique creative and technical needs, I provide custom quotes based on scope rather than relying on a flat rate.
Yes. I prefer to review the details of a project before providing a quote. This allows for flexibility in pricing while ensuring the time and care required for your project are properly accounted for.
Depending on project needs, I can deliver finished audio files (WAV or MP3) or video files (MP4). Audio is delivered at industry standards (48kHz, 24-bit, mono or stereo as required).
Yes. Projects typically include a rough cut stage, allowing for feedback and early revisions before final delivery. This helps ensure creative alignment and minimizes the need for major changes later in the process.
I work with a professional toolset including Studio One, Audacity, and DaVinci Resolve, along with industry-standard plugins for editing, cleanup, and mixing.
Turnaround time varies based on project length and complexity. Once I review your project, I’ll provide an estimated timeline as part of the quote.
