Challenge: Under tight deadlines, I created a soundscape for the slow-paced third episode of series "Processes," where a ministry faces recurring nightmares about their president, needing to maintain audience engagement and an unsettling atmosphere.

Challenge: Since 2022, I have been creating sound design for EdClub.com’s educational modules, including Sight Words, Financial Literacy, Letters and Sounds, Spelling Rules, Middle School SEL, and Digital Citizenship + Digital Literacy, as well as sound effects for games reinforcing learning material. The challenge was to develop audio that enhances engagement without distracting from the educational content.

Sound Production Lead
Challenge: I consulted on audio production for African Language House, a platform teaching African languages like Swahili and Amharic. The challenge was to streamline collaboration between sound designer, actors, and developers to ensure high-quality audio recordings.
Solution: I created a user-friendly workspace for audio management, provided detailed instructions, and coached actors on recording high-quality audio. I processed and finalized audio files, ensuring proper naming and organization for seamless integration by developers.

Toonz YouTube Channel
Challenge: As the sound designer for the Toonz YouTube channel, I was tasked with creating a unique "sound identity" for animated characters who communicate through mumbling and reactions rather than spoken words, in videos that rely entirely on sound effects without music, to engage and grow the audience.
Solution: I crafted authentic character soundscapes using my own voice for mumbling, reactions, and select words, complemented by custom sound effects to drive the narrative and maintain viewer engagement in the absence of music.
Result: My sound design enhanced the channel's distinctive style, contributing to a fourfold increase in subscribers over one year.
