Services
Re-recording mix
Final mixes for broadcast, streaming and social, built to each platform’s loudness spec. Stereo, surround and binaural, with stems and splits.
Sound design
Spots, films, branded content and fiction podcasts. Clean and invisible, or a fully built world.
Dialogue editing & restoration
Noise, reverb and set problems cleaned up in iZotope RX, so the rough takes sit next to the good ones.
Podcasts & narrative audio
Scripted and improvised fiction from edit to final mix, including binaural and ambisonic formats.
VO & ADR
Remote sessions over Zoom with self-record kits shipped to talent, or recorded in New York.

First pass
A v1 mix to review on Frame.io, or live over Zoom if you’d rather sit in on the session.
Notes
Rounds of revisions are set out in the quote. Changes beyond those, or picture changes after lock, are scoped and quoted before work starts.
Delivery
Final mixes, stems and splits to spec, versioned for every platform and cutdown.
Sound designer and co-creator of Mission to Zyxx and The Young Old Derf Chronicles, winner of the 2025 Tribeca Festival Fiction Audio Storytelling Award.
Before going independent, six years as head engineer at The Overlook in Greenpoint on a Trident 80 Series, and a decade playing and recording in bands (EZTV on Captured Tracks, Saint Rich on Merge). All of which is to say: the mix gets the same ear whether it's a 15-second spot or a 55-piece orchestra.
