About Me
My name is Will, and I'm currently an undergraduate student at the University of Texas at Austin. I have a background in working audio for live productions, but I'm working on taking my existing skillsets and applying them to video game production. I'm very passionate about game development, and focus on audio design, production, and implementation. Along with audio design, I have experience working as a producer on projects, as well as UI/UX design and implementation.
I've worked with a wide variety of different systems to bring immersive audio design to life and make an unforgettable experience for listeners. Audio is something that can make or break an experience for the audience, and I try my best to make experiences the best they possibly can be by bringing them to life through the sounds that they hear.
