Sound designer

​​

I’m a freelance Sound Designer, always seeking new challenges and opportunities to grow my skills.

I can craft any kind of sound you need; from subtle ambiences to powerful magic effects and cinematic explosions.

I’m passionate about building immersive audio experiences that bring games to life.

Communication is the key

Thanks to my studies at the Palermo Conservatory, I developed a workflow that combines both analytical thinking and creative exploration.

My approach to sound design always starts with understanding what the client truly wants, and then crafting the sound that best matches their vision and needs.

The Art of sound effect creation

Creating a sound effect is not just a matter of audio — it’s something more.
It’s about giving players the feeling that what they’re experiencing is believable.
Whether it’s a distant planet in a faraway galaxy, or a snowy battlefield where soldiers are struck by arrows, the sound designer’s job is to tell a story through sound.

I always strive to combine my skills in both tonal and atonal design to deliver the most immersive and emotional listening experience possible.

My Story

Born in Palermo, Sicily (Italy), I’ve always had a deep passion for music. During my teenage years, I picked up the electric bass and never stopped exploring the world of sound.

After high school, I enrolled at the Conservatory of Palermo, where I studied Electronic Music and Sound Design. There, I not only learned the technical aspects of sound creation — such as synthesis, foley recording, and audio editing — but also deepened my knowledge of classical, jazz, and electroacoustic composition, including orchestration for both classical and jazz ensembles.

I graduated with top marks, and since then, I’ve been working as a freelance sound designer. This amazing journey has allowed me to collaborate with people from all over the world — and I can't wait to live even more creative experiences.
