Film Works

Strays

“Strays,” directed by Lucas Johnston, is a post-apocalyptic short film about a man and his dog who travel across dangerous territory in search of other survivors. Lucas and I met while interning for The Chosen, where we shared ideas, projects, and eventually—a demo of Strays. Composing the score felt instinctive; I leaned into cello-driven themes to create a sense of wandering and isolation, echoing the protagonist’s search for hope and safety.

Music & Audio Supervision

Receipt

“Receipt,” directed by Marco King, follows a teenager forced to steal from a gas station to support his family’s struggling bed and breakfast. Marco and I met during our internship on The Chosen and have continued collaborating on projects ever since. The score leans ambient, slowly building tension and emotion before resolving in a final, heartfelt moment.

Music

Behind You

SFX

Directed by Bryan Hancock, "Behind You" is a horror short that follows two teens through an eerie, late-night encounter. We produced it in just 24 hours—on Christmas night—with my siblings and cousins, making for a fast and collaborative family challenge. I designed the sound effects to heighten tension: phone buzzes, footsteps, breathing, and horror drones all woven together to shape the film’s unsettling atmosphere.

Under Armour Spec

Music

Directed by Yajat Shirpurkar, this 45-second Under Armour spec ad showcases his team’s cinematography skills with bold, high-energy visuals. Yajat pushed me to explore new creative ground, which led to an Indian-inspired hip-hop score—not my usual style, but one that perfectly captured the ad’s mood of grit and perseverance. It was a blast breaking boundaries to match the intensity of the story.

Game Works

Krunker

Music & SFX

Krunker is a multiplayer online FPS by FRVR, built for fast-paced fun on any device. I was commissioned to create music and sound design for Seasons 7 and 8, contributing to the game’s revival in 2024. Season 7 featured Egyptian-inspired themes, while Season 8 took a wild turn into K-pop—needless to say, working on Krunker has been a chaotic, genre-bending rollercoaster (and an absolute blast).

Deadshot

SFX

Deadshot is a free online FPS with fast-paced multiplayer gameplay. I was commissioned to design ambient sounds and SFX for a new map, which involved recording and crafting everything from train and city ambience to restaurant and arcade sounds. Playing the game afterward and hearing the world come alive through the soundscape I built was a rewarding full-circle moment.

Archron

Music & SFX

Archron is an upcoming FPS by Arbiter Design—galactic, fast-paced, and team-based, with inspiration from titles like Halo, Splitgate, and Apex Legends. I’m currently working on the music and sound design as the game approaches its Beta release. From cosmic tension to high-octane combat audio, this project’s shaping up to be something special—stay tuned!

Dawphin

Mixing & Mastering

Dawphin was my electronic music project from 2016 to 2023. Over those seven years, I created, mixed, and mastered 54 tracks—each one a stepping stone in learning how to shape sound into a full, cohesive experience. Electronic music was my entry point into audio production, and it’s still something I deeply love. For a taste of my proudest work, check out “Chasing Dreams” and “Natura.”

The Hawthorne Experience

Mastering

The Hawthorne Experience is a surf-punk trio based in Tucson, AZ. I had the pleasure of mastering two of their singles—“Sunshine Tune!” and “When I Grow Up”—released in 2021 and 2022. They’re still riding the wave and putting out music, so definitely check them out!

Several film, game, and audio projects are in the works, so stay tuned!
