About Me
My name is Will, and I''ve recently graduated the University of Texas at Austin with a B.S. in Arts and Entertainment Technologies. I have a background in sound design, technical sound design, live event audio, and production.
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.
Outside of my audio work you'll be able to find me reading, bouldering, or headbanging at your local metal shows!
