About Me: Sound

I’m a sound nerd based in Brooklyn, New York.

I’m a sound mixer, boom operator, sound utility and sound designer based in NYC. I love capturing intimate moments and scenes, creatively rigging hidden microphones and making gore foley (I’m a huge horror-head).

Sound is an art and I approach it as such. I’ve been fascinated by the science of it since childhood, keeping notebooks full of wavelength sketches, and now nothing lights me up faster than using technology to record the magic of performance and life.

Most of my time is spent in narrative, documentary and live sports worlds. My experience includes television, features, short films, advertisements and live broadcasts/events (some national, some global). Services offered include location sound mix, boom operation, audio utility-ing and post sound design.

Dealing with difficult subject matter? Many productions hire me for my trauma-informed mic-ing process and discretion in emotional spaces.

You could say I make home in the most intense environments- interviews with trauma survivors, horror films with limbs flying, ambience capture on the edge of snowy mountains, chasing pro athletes across fields nation-wide. My work across mediums and genres only strengthens my adaptability to every environment (and my love for the range of human experience, if we want to get sappy).

I work with A24, Netflix, the NFL, Hulu, WWE, NBC, PBS, MTV, Disney+, CBS, TLC, The Food Network, Meta, and Amazon. Notable national commercial clients include Google, Microsoft, Heinz, J Crew, Major League Baseball, Coinbase, ELF Cosmetics, Pandora, and Airbnb.

You may have heard me at Sundance, SXSW, Cannes, Tribeca, TIFF, Telluride, DOC NYC, Dances with Films, HollyShorts and Brooklyn Horror, among other festivals. My film work has appeared in festivals and on screens in the US, UK, Canada, South Korea, India, France, Italy, Greece and Germany.

About Me: Art

When I’m not soundscaping I write, film and make music.

Across mediums I aim to challenge the dominant ideology surrounding women and their bodies. I’m passionate about horror, rock & roll, sexuality and trauma-informed storytelling. You can see this in my sound work as well- I gravitate towards wacky, intense, dark projects that make use of my passions. Or maybe they gravitate towards me?

Outside of a produced stage play and a handful of awarded short films, you can find my stories in a variety of magazines and journals including The Susquehanna Review, Flora Fiction and Marrow Magazine. I’m always typing away at a novel or screenplay- my debut book and feature film are in progress.

My band, Pet Rabbit, is in works on our second album. We make grunge rock tinged with folk production styles.

My indie production company Carmilla Productions creates horror films for women and the LGBTQ+ community. Our body horror short film Brian Won’t Wear Condoms premieres this fall. Stay tuned!

Interested in Carmilla Productions (or any of my other ventures)?
