What inspired you to pursue a career in sound design, and what keeps you passionate about it?

I have always loved video game music. I loved the way it could bring little 8-bit pixels scenes to life and make something so simple seem dramatic and epic. Later I started to pay attention to this in movies. This got me interested in how to make them and I slowly learned the trade, starting with chiptune which is somewhat simple and moving into orchestral and symphonic music. The urge to keep creating has kept me going since then.

I pursued a career in sound design because of my love for music and fascination with how sound enhances experiences. I was drawn to how soundtracks and effects could transform films and games, sparking my interest in blending creativity with technical skills.

What keeps me passionate is the endless creativity and innovation sound design offers. Each project brings new challenges and the chance to experiment with techniques and technologies, making each experience unique. The thrill of solving audio problems and seeing a project come to life drives my excitement every day.

I have always been passionate about music since I was a child.
In my adolescence I started producing my own music, learning different production software, becoming passionate about synthesizers, drum machines and samplers.
I focused a lot on samples.
When I realised that with just one sample (using pitch, stretch, cutting and using effects), I could use it in various ways, a new scenario opened up to me.
After that I studied at an Academy of Electronic Music, different courses, including Sound Design.
I learned the synthesis and manipulation of sound, and how to "sew it" on a visual. And I understood the importance of audio in films, video games or audiovisual installations, seeing how much they change the perception and mood of the user/spectator.
Shortly after I started working for Kanaka Studio, a multidisciplinary creative studio skilled in interactive new media platforms, through visual design, 3D, video mapping projections, immersive performances and sound design.

Then I realised that it is a fantastic and huge artistic field.

My journey into sound design was inspired by a deep fascination with how sound can shape emotions and experiences. From a young age, I was captivated by the intricate role that audio plays in film, music, and multimedia. The way sound can enhance storytelling, evoke feelings, and create immersive environments without you even realizing it really fascinates me.

Sound design is an endless potential for creativity and innovation. The field is always evolving, offering new tools and techniques that push the boundaries of what’s possible. Each project presents unique challenges and opportunities to experiment with sound, which keeps the work exciting and fulfilling.

The ability to transform simple audio elements into complex, textured soundscapes is deeply satisfying.
